Video and Image Editing Apps
What apps would you recommend for editing videos and images of your tours ? I have a Note 8 for the road, but will also be using my Dell laptop (when I'm home) to edit videos and images I shoot while touring.

Not saying it’s a good program but I use Microsoft’s movie maker softwear. Work for what I need with the GoPro.

I use Adobe Lightroom for still photo editing on the PC. Helps with organizing, consistency and minimizing clutter. Lightroom was unique when first developed because it doesn't actually modify photos -- it's "non-destructive," meaning edits attach instructions to the photos to show them as the final edit will appear when saved or printed. But it doesn't create unnecessary duplicate files to clutter up a hard drive.
Lightroom isn't perfect but after using it for several years I'm accustomed to the workflow. And it works with all my camera raw files.
On my phones and tablets I like Snapseed. I keep trying other apps but none of them works as well as Snapseed -- including Lightroom for Android. My mobile devices record only JPEGs so there's no advantage to a raw editor if it's a slower resource hog. And Snapseed works sort of like a small scale version of Lightroom, recording each step in the editing process that can be undone or modified later (as long as the photo is saved using the option to record and save editing steps).
Thanks for the reference to Shotcut. I've been looking for a decent free video editor. I've tried many but none of them suited me. I keep going back to Windows Movie Maker even though I don't really like it. But it''s less annoying than the other really annoying free video editors. And my desktop PC lacks a really good video card so there's no advantage to a full blown video editor.

For images, Darktable and GIMP are pretty great.
Never tried them with movies.

My editor is rather convenient and full of different tools. Here is the article about it. It has everything to manage with my photos with a mobile device - effects, filters, frames etc. Build in photo collage feature is what I like most about it. I'm not really good at Photoshop or something but this app allows making a suitable picture just with tapping the screen.

I don't like Adobe's subscription model, pay every month or else. I'd rather pay one time.
I've been using DxO PhotoLab, similar to Lightroom. It's "smart lighting" is a one click with a slider that rescues a lot of photos. I have the addon for noise reduction -- when turned on, it takes 30 seconds or more to process a photo, but the results for high ISO noisy photos is quite amazing.
I just got the $20 FastRawViewer. It's very fast to go through a photo session and send most of the shots to a _Rejected sub folder. I was just keeping all the photos in a folder, since it was too slow to wait for a raw photo to render, then decide to keep or delete it. And I didn't want to permanently delete them right away. Now they get sent with one click to the rejected folder, and I can delete the whole folder later.
It's really good at viewing and evaluating exposure, composition, and sharpness. I like it.
