Editing APP

What is the best editing app? Preferably one can use your own library.

I prefer DaVinci Resolve. It's free and does everything I need it to.

Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro are still considered the gold standards for video editing, but they do have fairly steep learning curves if you want to produce highly professional output with numerous tweaks to video quality.

I used to use Windows Movie Maker as a "quick and dirty" editing app and it did a great job. Too bad Microsoft decided to drop it from Windows 10. I've been using CyberLink's PowerDirector since then because it has a simplified interface like Movie Maker, but unfortunately the output files are very hit-or-miss when played back on various laptops with different CPU and GPU hardware (ie, some are very smooth but some are very jerky).

It's available for Windows 10. See more details here.

I don't think that the reference to Windows Movie Maker was the same as the link above. Microsoft used to offer a great software package that has been discontinued due to security issues. I can no longer find a download anywhere. The link referenced is to Videopix's version which is not even close to the MS version.

"Editing app".

So.. could be Windows, could be iOS, could be Android, could be for use on a PC, could be for use on a phone or tablet. Care to narrow it down?

Dose it edit 4k okay? I've downloaded it but haven't used it yet.
