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.

probably one of the best free video editing programs out there atm is davinci ( https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/ )

for simple editing though I used to use KDEnlive a lot, pretty easy to wrap your head around, allbeit with a few quirks that take some getting used to ( https://kdenlive.org/en/ )

I'm sure theres others but those are the two I've used personally.

Here to vouch for KDEnlive! Works great in my experience.

Another vote for kdenlive!

+1 Kdenlive is great and its open source software from KDE

Heavily agree. Imo both resolve and KDEnlive are capable of very complex things so might appear as though they are complex to use, but they are only as complex as the thing you're trying to do. If all you need is cut and move, they are dead simple.

I've mostly used kdenlive and have had a pretty positive experience, +1 from me

I've used kdenlive for a few years now and it's so far a very good nlve, especially for the price of free.

These are the only two free ones that I can recommend as someone who has been doing (mostly amateur) editing for years.

Love KDEnlive! It even lets you make .srt files with the subtitles feature.

I've heard good things about both Davinci and Openshot.

undefined> Openshot

Openshot is low learning curve, but daaaaaaang it crashes a lot.
