Video editing software

[Phate]

Hi guys,

I've got a bunch of footage & photos from our travels I'd like to edit together into something fun (well, try to)

I've used iMovie and whilst it works it's clunky and a bit annoying. Can anyone recommend any other software that doesn't require a past of video editing knowledge to use which gives good-ish results please?

Never used it myself, but I've heard good things about HitFilm

Sony Vegas.

Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 or 13

If it's just a once off, it seems a bit mad to spend a load on Resolve or Vegas? iMovie would surely do you well for putting together a basic sequence.

Could always use a trial of premiere etc though I suppose.

Sony Movie Studio Platinum has a 30 day trial and is really user friendly.

There's also Adobe Premiere Elements which has a 30 day free trial.

It looks like you get a lot for free there!

How does it compare in use to the other suggestions?

Well Davinci make professional software, studios often to use it for commercial and film work. It could be a steep learning curve. The others are, I would imagine, more consumer orientated.

I've not used any of the software listed here, including Resolve, I used to edit on FCP, but now use Premiere.
