I was looking for a video editor that can help me cut and edit some simple video footage. What are some good choices?

Preference is one with a low learning curve. Paid is alright, as long as I can test it a bit beforehand.

Google is littered with nonsense blogs so I figured id ask the Lems.

DaVinci Resolve. It’s good and mostly free, allowing you to export up to HD resolution. Premium features include more transitions, fx, and higher resolutions but the basics are covered free.

I can’t vouch for the low learning curve. It’s intuitive enough for basic basic stuff but I still find myself going to YouTube tutorials often. However- I’m always a slow learner, so it might be just me.

A thousand times this. I have no idea why this isn’t a more popular option. Also it isn’t limited to HD - it’s limited to 4k.

I had been pondering on switching from Shotcut to DaVinci but exporting being limited to HD is bad news to me

Edit: this claims 4K & 60fps as the limit which is fine

Previous commenter is incorrect - you can export up to 4k with the free version.
