I have a youtube channel and I want to start making films and upload them to my channel, but I can't afford premiere pro in anyway, so if I used premiere pro trail version for that purposes, without monetizing my videos would that be legal?
And if that is okay, what about using premiere pro trail version and whenever the trial period ends I just remove it and then download it again and sign in with different account, is that legal too?

Correct answer Ann Bens

You can download the trial one time only to a single computer.

Trial last for 7 days.

Hi Mohamed:

The list of video editing applications that are free is pretty short.

However, Avid currenlty offers an entry level version of their high end editing application Media Composer called Media Composer First (Media Composer | First - Free Video Editing Software - Avid ). This might need your needs.

Are you a student by any chance? The least expensive way to subscribe to Premiere Pro is via the student pricing. Vendors like Journey Education (Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition (One Year Subscription - Monthly Price), Academic Discount | Education Discou… ) and Academic Superstore (Adobe Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition (One Year Subscription - Monthly Price) (Mac / Win) for $19.99 at Acade… ) are common places to purchase the subscription at academic pricing.

There’s also the Premiere Pro only subscription at $20/month.

As far as “free” video editng applications go, have you tried any of these?

Hitfilm Express (PC/Mac)
iMovie (Mac)
YouTube Video Editor - I think that this was discontinued.
Windows Movie Maker

Final Cut Pro X is popular for being a flat price of $299, but like iMovie requires a Mac. If you’re working at 1920x1080, FCPX runs really well on older Macs (I wouldn’t go older than a 2012 model). The proxy editing feature is pretty seamless if you’re editing 4K on an older Mac.

Sorry to be recommending mostly alternatives to Premiere Pro. If you can find a way to afford Adobe Creative Cloud, I’m sure that you’ll find that Premiere Pro, Media Encoder, Prelude, Audition, After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator make for a very powerful toolset for any video creator.
