What is the best video editor for Windows PC?
For professional use: DaVinci Resolve (free) or Adobe Premiere Pro ($55/month). For AI-automated editing: Editly ($28/month, browser-based). For beginners: Filmora or Clipchamp. The best PC editor depends on whether you need manual control, AI automation, or beginner simplicity.
