There are a variety of online tools and apps that allow you to create basic videos without the need for costly software.
Many of these apps are free or offer inexpensive subscription plans, giving you access to pre-made templates, stock images and video clips.
In addition, most smartphones now feature built-in video editing capabilities with which you can easily trim your footage, add transitions and adjust the lighting.
If you want more complex features such as effects and filters, there are also several free and paid apps available for both iOS and Android devices that provide these features.
If you do decide to invest in editing software, there are plenty of options available for both beginner and intermediate users alike.
Adobe Premiere Pro is the go-to choice for most professionals but other products such as Veed may be more suitable for certain types of projects.
Regardless of which product you choose, it's important to ensure that it has all the features that you require so that it can aid rather than hinder your workflow.
If cost is an issue then several open-source editors have much of the same functionality at no cost whatsoever.
