Video editing software

IMovie is about the easiest to use, there's no requirement to shoot your videos with an iPhone or Pad. I do run into things I can't do easily in it, especially related to integrating separate audio and video feeds. I use it with video I shoot on my Nikon. DaVinci Resolve also seems reasonably straightforward. For more heavy lifting I use Premiere Pro, which is not free, but comes with the other Adobe software I need. It has a significant learning curve, which I have not climbed. I'd guess the Apple's Final Cut Pro is also very capable and probably easier to use.

^^ I agree with this for folks running MacOS. iMovie is easy, has a lot of features and is free since it comes with the OS. I use both iPhone and my Nikon DSLR for video content when I create "formal" video.

I used Power Director when I was Windows based. When I bought my first MacBook laptop circa 2010, I used iMovie.

I tried Final Cut, but it just didn't seem logical and I was not prepared to put the time in to learn it.

About 4 months ago, I found out Power Director now has a Mac version. Although not free, I much prefer it to iMovie. The Titling, transitions and video editing features are so rich and easy to use in Power Director.

I will not go back to iMovie.

I used to use Power Director but switched over to Adobe Premiere. Both were easy to use.
