Comparing PC video editors on the dimensions that drive real workflow decisions.
| Decision | Other Apps | Editly |
|---|---|---|
| Best free PC editor | DaVinci Resolve: professional-grade, unlimited, no watermark — requires learning and GPU | Editly: 3 free AI-edited exports in Edge — no GPU, no learning, 15-20 min per video |
| Time per video on PC | DaVinci / Premiere Pro: 2-4 hours per video — manual editing required | Editly: 15-20 minutes per video — AI makes editorial decisions from prompt |
| Hardware requirement | PC NLEs: dedicated GPU significantly improves performance, especially for 4K | Editly: any PC browser — cloud processing, no GPU needed |
