Blender3D for video editing is really cool.

iMovie crashed bad on me and I never got it working again. Almost paid 300 bucks for Final Cut Pro.

Then remembered that Blender had this built in. And its really good. No need to import videos into a bin or nonsense like that. Just drag them into the timeline, add filters, drag to reorder, render to mp4/aac and its done.

Best discovery of the year sofar

Have you heard about DaVinci Resolve?
That's my recent great find. It's amazing that it's given fir free even for personal use.

Tip: If you're in school or have a family member in school, Apple's "Pro Apps Bundle for Education" is a great deal. https://www.apple.com/us-hed/shop/product/BMGE2Z/A/pro-apps-...

I thought Blender was for animation, didn't occur to me you can just edit video within it.
Lossless-cut is a great little tool for splitting and merging videos too (limited by i-frames), but lightning fast.
