I'd like to ask what software you use in making video. I have Wondershare and adobe. But I do hate that monthly fee for adobe. What do you use to make videos. And can we share samples of the latest video we did, is that allowed? Thanks

Usually depends on your audience type and end game. For us, making and producing commercials, films and movies - we use the industry standard Davinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere. But if you're only interested putting together quick short form videos for socials, then you may not want to use heavy-lifting programs, but the in-device apps and Rush, CapCut, etc. work, too.

I have edited videos for television, advertisers, and corporate projects for years, but when everything went digital, I chose Adobe Premiere. It was very quirky and constantly changing, and expensive. I think most videographers still use it. When Apple entered the game with Final Cut Pro, I switched. You could buy Final Cut Pro for $300, period. There are no monthly fees or hiccups, either. Third-party add-ons are also available. It's easy to learn and it works. For clients who want vertical edits, I plan to use CapCut to save time. A lot of young videographers are switching to Divinci. It is impressive. You can start with a free version that handles just about any situation. But if you're a "Hollywood" editor, there is a paid version.
I use Adobe for our webinars and most promo videos. I have used Adobe Express for our webinar waiting room. Express is great if I just want something fun with a few slides to promo upcoming events. It is a quick easy way to create that.
We use camtasia for video editing. It is great for recording powerpoint, videos, music and many add ins. Here are a few videos we did quickly.

I used Premiere for years but like you I got tired of the monthly fee. I switched over to Power Director which is one low monthly or buy outright fee. It has all the same bells and whistles. Hope that helps.
What types of videos do you need to make? The most common for me are slideshows of stills I shoot at fashion shows, like this, made using Adobe Lightroom Classic: https://youtu.be/mcl-62HPIBI?s...
I use After Effects & Vegas Pro
I use and love Camtasia and Kapwing. CapCut seems to be a favorite of shorts creators but I've only tried it once and they have a free plan. Example: https://youtu.be/Q9QxU66RbBE
I use Movavi but you can use the free DaVinci. They are both very similar and intuitive - if you need any help do'nt hesitate to ask!
