looks like capcut
"Unlock pro for $40/month"
Kdenlive
- Kdenlive is the precise opposite experience of this meme! It is awesome.
  
  I had to suggest something to people seeing this meme and not knowing where to turn. Otherwise, they may try using Shotcut.
- I'm voting for kdenlive. And krita for image creation, I use both (although my wife uses the tiktok editor whatever it's called on her phone and her videos are great, so there's that..)
  
  *capcut it's called capcut apparently the free version is pretty good although I dunno if it works on desktop
- This looks like a phone app though?
  
  It's Linux software, idk if there's some phone thing by the same name, but I've used it a little. It's pretty good.
- From which version onward?
Nothing gets me to uninstall faster.
- "This app needs access to your
  
  contacts
  
  location
  
  phone call history
  
  notifications
  
  your waist size
  
  sleeping habits
  
  your firstborn
  
  your significant other
  
  camera
  
  microphone "
  
  Don't forget your address, kidneys, and mother's maiden name.
- What about a forced registration screen on a 100% offline app? (Example: duet screen)
  
  DELETE
Davinci Resolve homie
“Unlock 3 undo’s for only 9,99 (savings: 19,99!)”

Blender non-linear editor
- Came here for the blender mention. I don't edit video often, but blender is fine for basic work! (and maybe more but I'm not a good enough editor to know)
  
  Blender can do very advanced editing and even motion graphics, but the learning curve is steeeeep.
Shotcut
- Yep, was gonna say this, at least if you're on linux.
  
  A bit of a confusing UI, but it doesn't seem to be as resource intensive as other editors with similar feature sets.
  
  (Though I do have very little experience with video editors/editing in general... shotcut 'clicked' for me after a few hours of just brute force fucking about with no manual or anything)
  
  Runs just fine on windows. A little slower than on Linux but it works.
Correction: Freemium
This stuff drives me crazy. I'm not an artisty type, but sometimes I wanna enhance a photo, enlarge something, remove a background, on layer images, so I search up "free online whatever tool," go through the upload and whatever, and then all of a sudden it's all "nah, I changed my mind. the thing I told you I did I'm gonna have to charge you for or make you sign up for an account or whatever."

If I wanted to go through all that, I'd already have a dang tool installed! Thankfully after enough of these roadblocks, I've got a pretty good arsenal of free utilities, though nothing to help you out here. It looks like some other comments do though!
- Needed a PDF editor on my phone once. Was a fn nightmare to find one.
  
  PDF is copyrighted by Adobe (or something similar).
  
  That is why all the PDF editors are paid for, since they need to pay a license to Adobe in order to be allowed to edit PDFs.
  
  Google links need upvote/downvote buttons!
What software is this?
- Looks like Inshot. Annoyingly its actually alright cracked.
I think that “free” anything is the new €0.99
None of these pro tags are real... Yet
Is there any good video editor for phones?
- Bunny is good for basic edits.
- Node Video or Kinemaster???? but kinemaster has that watermark.
- Capcut i guess?
