Wow, nice!
Well I I say, Iām just a novice at the mo so still working on it. Iāve read reviews on different editors. I guess itās how good you are and what you need. Iāll go ahead with iMovie for now or Darkroom. See how I go and maybe progress from there. Itās all time too.
How do I add pics and movies to the chats?
Marvellous. Iāve got a YouTube account so now Iāll have to put a few stills together and create a short video of them. Maybe when Iāve got it together Iāll post a decent video. Cheers fella

I wish Iād had greater notice of this! Would have lines to have gone along.
Anyone able to make it there?
Probably not aimed at the hobbyist, though.
Just to add my two penneth to the ongoing thread.
I started out editing in LumaFusion on my iPad, good piece of software and fairly intuitive to use.
I now, pretty much exclusively, use Davinci Resolve. If you are prepared to spend a few hours learning the basics - Blackmagicās own training page is where I started - it very quickly become easy to use and if you get stuck there is a wealth of YouTube tutorials that cover most problems.
I canāt compare and contrast with other editors having never really used them - dabbled with iMovie but didnāt get on with it - but I would highly recommend these two.
Also if you want to get into resolve and are stuck, drop me a line and Iāll try and help. Iām no āexpertā but have learned a fair bit over the last few months.
This is my YouTube channel. I think everything from October is Resolve and anything before, LumaFusion

Good evening fellow flyers,
Just to add a question to this thread. While the weather is pretty rubbish at the moment and flying is of the menu Iāve decided itās the right time to teach myself some editing. Iāve not had chance to capture any video with my new Mavic Air as yet but I intend to as soon as this weather moves on. Iāve done a bit of research and read quite a bit within this club and it seems quite a few of you guys use Davinci Resolve. The new version is 16 and looks the business but I donāt know if my PC is up to the software. I had a Windows PC built about 6 months ago which I think is in the high end category but could you guys tell me if itās up to the job. The graphics card is Nvidia with 4gb and good enough for gaming I was told. I have 2 hard drives, one 500gb ssd and one thatās a TB for storage. 16Gb of ram and a 5i processor. Will this be enough to run the Davinci software? Iām going to download The Biginners Guid to Davinci Resolve which compliments the software and is a tutorial at the same time. Iām determined to crack this as it sounds a great piece of kit. Cheers
Should be OK. i7 would have been preferable (kind of obviously), and it also depends on the complexity of the editing you create. Probably not that complicated initially, Iād imagine.
There are ways to help speed things up if your computer struggles a little.
One thing, itās free ā¦ so nothing to loose downloading and trying.
The initial loading of the software takes a chunk of time, so donāt panic. Itās actually loading several modules that are each quite powerful.
Thanks OzoneVibe. Yeah I was going to go for the i7 but for the extra Ā£100 I didnāt think it worth it for what I was using it for, now I wish I had. Iāll download the softwear and see how it goes. Iām not going to put a show together or anything but just put a few drone videos. What do you say mate.

I canāt see that there should be a problem. #FamousLastWords. 
Haha donāt worry, I wonāt come looking for you. Iāll give it a spin. Like you say, the software is free so nothing to lose. If the PC struggles a little could I come looking for you for some advice

Itās more the tricks within Resolve that one can use to make the editing environment slicker, and reduce the workload on the computer during editing.
That leave all the heavy work for the rendering that you can just let run when youāre not next to the computer.

Ah right. That could be the answer. I had a horrible feeling you were going to mention āover clockingā and stuff. A little deep for me but I know guys that have done such things, Gamers mostly. I donāt know how the can mess around with a 5K pc.

Ive taken the jump and gone for the full version of Filmora 9 - after using the free version I found it is easy enough to get to grips with, and has so many features. Also, I was put off by the full price Ā£60 but got an offer of Ā£30 for lifetime membership with full updates included so that made it worthwhile. Works fine on my old iMac given it has a low ram. On my windows laptop that is dedicated to my photography I have DaVinci Resolve trial version just for a comparison.

Unfortunately, I bought PD before discovering DR. Once I had discovered DR, PD hasnāt been used once.
Currently doing a long-term time-lapse that has over 2000 x 15minute clips loaded into the project, and itās not even flinched.

DR does 360 ā¦ just saying.
