What are the best video editing software suggestions?
I understand this isn't the right place for such a question, but as a computer tech with experience, I can offer some guidance.
I'm seeking affordable or simple options for creating YouTube videos (cat videos, etc.) without needing advanced tools.
I need basic functionality: cut and paste clips, crop 4k footage to HD, merge segments, add annotations and music.
I also have cell phone, GoPro, security camera, and a drone videos; I want everything integrated.
My usual software is VirtualDub and Windows Movie Maker, but both are outdated or no longer supported.
I’ve downloaded Davinci Resolve, which is intimidating, and it won’t open my GoPro clips without conversion.
With the GoPro footage, I can convert it to AVI and edit in VirtualDub, though adding annotations feels challenging.
I’m not planning to upgrade soon and want something straightforward and budget-friendly.

I use Movavi Video Editor, which is quite straightforward to operate. It allows adding text and subtitles, as well as merging several clips. They offer a 7-day free trial, a one-month subscription for $18.95, an annual license for $64.95, or a lifetime license for $99.95. I'm not sure if these prices are reasonable, especially if you avoid loading cat videos on Reddit or X.
Which computer and phone are you using? Clipchamp has replaced the movie maker on Windows 10.
I won't rely on the phone except for capturing a brief video or photo if I don't have the gopro. All editing and processing will happen on my computer. As mentioned before, I'm a tech-savvy person, so I use a machine I built myself. It's a bit outdated, but it still handles everything well.
Thanks for the Clipchamp information!

Regarding the phone, it’s mainly suitable for some devices, especially iPhones, which are great for video work on smaller projects; it can be a good choice if it fits your needs. I’m puzzled about why Microsoft doesn’t promote these more often, as many users feel things are missing in newer OS versions and have to find replacements. Still, it’s worth noting that Windows doesn’t come pre-installed with these options, which is a big advantage for MacOS since it works well for most users right out of the box after setup.
IE in the 90s doesn’t even offer simple features such as H265 support anymore
We’re discussing 10 though
