What's your favorite video editor for mac?
Hi everyone, I used to edit videos on Windows, but I just switched to Mac recently, and I'm not used to many operations. Now I need to edit an opening video, and I want to find a video editor for Mac...

Sometimes you just want to capture a video clip or teaching clip on a web page. Press Command + Shift + 5, select an area with the screen recording tool, and use QuickTime or ffmpseg to crop it after recording. It is very convenient.
No need to install any plug-ins, you can do it with Safari + screen recording. It is a very practical lightweight video editor for Mac operation.
- The steps of Safari + screen recording are as follows:
Open Safari and play the video clip you want to record; - Press the shortcut keys Command + Shift + 5 to start the screen recording tool that comes with macOS;
- Select "Record Selected Area" and select the screen you want;
- Click to start recording, and click the stop button on the menu bar after the video is played;
- The system will automatically save the video, and you can use QuickTime or ffmpseg to edit the required part.
This method is particularly suitable for course clips, material capture, and quick backup. It is flexible and simple to use. It is completely fine to use it as a temporary video editor for Mac tool.
