Best Video Editing Software in 2025?

Posted in r/NewTubers a few weeks back asking about video editing software because every thread had completely different answers for the same question. Got some useful responses that were more specific than the usual "just use DaVinci" advice you see everywhere.

Since I keep seeing similar questions here, thought I'd share what I learned:

Key takeaways from 90+ responses:

- DaVinci Resolve - Mentioned in almost every comment, but with a major caveat: crashes frequently on systems with less than 16GB RAM despite "minimum requirements"

- C apCut - Tons of creators admit using it despite calling it "basic" because it just works and has solid auto-captions, but you need Pro for anything serious

- Adobe fatigue - Premiere gets respect but most people are tired of subscription costs and crash issues

- Hardware matters more than…
