Best free Video & Photo editor

[JasiekKuna]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some cheap solution (mean free) photo and video editor. Could You recommend me some positions?

I am not a professional, yet, however I have found that Darktable and Gimp work really well. Lots of tutorials on how to properly use them are available online.

Oh btw those are only for photos, not video. I have not done any video editing yet.

I had to use Darktable as a part of plug-in to open DNG files in Gimp. I found that Darktable is a very good editor for exposure, more so than Gimp.

GIMP for still images. I use GIMP for all my non RAW images and for RAW images I use RawTherapee. Some people who use GIMP, though, have reported a bit of a learning curve but I gotta say that I took to it quite easily. I can't suggest a video editor although I believe DaVinci Resolve is good if your computer has the horse power to run it. For video editor I use the paid for Filmora. Can't remember how much it cost me but it wasn't too expensive.

Caveat on DaVinci Resolve... high hardware requirements, as well as a steep learning curve for some.

Many moons ago I tried Resolve but I had to give up on it because my old computer didn't have the guts. However, while I did use it I found it reasonably easy to use. Now I have a computer that would easily run Resolve but I'm so used to using Filmora now that I just stick with it.

You can use RawTherapee for .dng files.
Is very good.
