Can the cut screen professional version really replace the pr professional version? Looking at the function comparison, how would you choose?

The Professional Edition of Cut Screen mentioned in this article is the Professional Edition of Cut Screen for Windows (hereinafter referred to as Cut Screen), the version number is the latest v1.1.1_0. adobe pr emire pro (hereinafter referred to as pr), is the 2020 version, the version number is 14.5.0.

Before, the desktop version of Cutying Computer was only available for mac, but now, the professional version of Cutying has finally launched the Windows desktop version, and it will be officially released on February 1, 2021. This is a great boon for users who use the windows operating system. After the release of this version, there was a lot of applause on the Internet, and some netizens even called out that pr could be killed. But what is the situation? For this reason, I made a special comparison between the functions of the two softwares, and now lists the advantages and disadvantages of the two for your reference.

1. Test environment

Lenovo savior y7000p-1060 laptop, the product of 2018r, is not good now, but it is far higher than the minimum configuration requirements of the two software. Specific configuration is as follows:

4. Software startup time

The cut-screen startup time is only 0.6 seconds,pr takes about 1 minute.

5. Supported media formats for import

Clipping: mp4, mov, m4v, mkv , avi, mpg, f4v, flv, rmvb, jpg, png, jpeg.

pr: Support all media formats, including the most format picture files (HEIC, HEIF). You can also import subtitle files.

6. Media formats that support export

Cut image: mov, mp4. The highest resolution is 4k.

pr: All video formats can also be exported as pictures, audio, animation (GIF) files. Support H.265 encoding, the highest resolution can reach above 8k.

Seven, the degree of software entry and ease of use

cut projection: quick start, almost no need for special training and learning, you can easily get started. Can quickly edit a video with not a lot of material. It can automatically recognize the lyrics of audio songs and automatically locate them. Provides a lot of free special effects and transition scenarios. Provide many font styles and free font libraries. Provide a large amount of free video scene material and music, sound effect material. Provide free stickers and other cartoon animation materials. There are also some simple filters and simple picture adjustment functions. These functions and materials are enough to allow a novice to make a good-looking video.

pr: It is difficult to get started, and you need to master many terms, such as sequence, video coding, etc. To apply pr proficiently and make good-looking videos, it takes a period of learning and training. pr did not provide material. The special effects and transitions come with only a little bit. Others need to install plug-ins, or make them yourself, or download materials made with AE. The editing function is too powerful, but the complexity is high. For example, in the LUMETRI color tool that adjusts the picture, there are six functions: basic correction, creativity, curve, color wheel and matching, HSL assistance, and vignette.There are many complex modules in each function. Beginners will be confused when they see these menus, confused and at a loss.

8. Export time

First use a video clip of 18 seconds for export test. The exported video format is mp4, the resolution is 1080p, and the bit rate is medium (cutting settings, the bit rate setting in pr is also very complicated, so the default setting is used), and the frame rate is 30fps (30 frames per second).

Clipping: 6 seconds.

pr: 6 seconds.

It seems that there is no difference in the export time of many videos.

Let's use a video clip with a length of 8 minutes and 53 seconds for the export test. The export settings are the same as the above settings.

Cut Screening: 2 minutes and 15 seconds.

pr: Use the preset mode that matches the source-high bit rate to export, and the time is 6 minutes. Use mobile device 1080p preset mode to export, the time is also 6 minutes. It's just that the file is a bit smaller.

Judging from the above data, the file export time is obviously much faster. But there is a strange place, that is, the size of the exported file is much smaller than that of pr export.

10 seconds video, after cutting and exporting, it is 33MB, pr is 22MB; 8 minutes and 53 seconds, cutting is 1G, pr high bit rate is 677MB, and mobile phone 1080p is 541MB.

I didn't analyze the reason carefully. In the future, I will set the bit rate and other parameters, and then perform the comparison test.

To sum up, the cut-and-play has an absolute advantage in startup and export time, and it also has an absolute advantage in the ease of operation, so simple video editing is completely competent. From this level In the end, the cut image can really kill the pr.

However, if you need to perform complex video editing, such as editing a lot of material, the editing is a bit weak, it is more troublesome to operate, and the fault tolerance mechanism is not perfect. Once the editing deviates from the direction, you want to return to the previous editing state.It's very difficult, and it is very likely that the entire re-editing will be required.

Below, I will list some shortcomings and some functions that need to be added for your reference.

1. There is no concept of sequence and cannot handle some special video formats;

2. The audio track in the video cannot be separated;

3. When making a video, there must be a video material in the timeline without adding music or Other materials such as text;

4. Video cannot be selected frame by frame, which is a big problem for those requiring fine editing;

5. Cannot capture the current frame of the picture;

6. Video screen adjustment Weak functions, such as highlights or shadows, can only be increased, not depressed; hue cannot be adjusted;

7. The lyrics recognition function is indeed powerful, but the recognized subtitles are bound to the screen , Instead of the audio track, if the picture is adjusted, the lyrics positioning will be messed up, you can only reposition it manually, or delete the previously recognized lyrics and subtitles, and then re-identify;

8. Some opening and ending credits provided in the material library, You cannot modify the text and pictures you need, which is not very useful. Such as news titles, the text in the material cannot be modified.

10. You cannot select multiple clips on the track, which is very troublesome.

11. There are many materials, but there is no search function. It is not practical and troublesome to find materials one by one.

12. The video material superimposed on the upper layer cannot turn off the audio and can only be controlled by adjusting the volume level;

13. The project cannot be saved as a draft box, and only the last modified project is saved, and you want to return it The previous one can only be redone. Very inconvenient.
