Need suggestions for a free GoPro edit tool

[cloud cult]

Son got a new GoPro8 for Christmas.

Am trying to find a program that will allow simple editing of clips to create a movie. Nothing fancy -- just something to upload to youtube and send to the grandparents.

Used Movavi and loved it until I realized the free version put a watermark across the video and was only good for a week.

Have used Davinci Resolve 16 and am about to tear my hear out -- buggy, crashing, won't render, etc.

Any recommendations for a free editing tool that does not require a graphics degree and can be done on a basic laptop? TIA.

the GoPro app is the best way to go. It's free and they make it so easy

my husband just sent me this website link for you and he said it's free

^ That's probably the way to go. I've used the free version of Lightworks, but it barely runs on my 6-year-old laptop and can only export up to 720p.

Thanks -- I should have specified I am looking for desktop use, not phone. Seems that GoPro no longer offers a desktop platform.

Check out "Shotcut".

Maybe a friend has the old one?
I have the Mac version, if that’s of any use...

Openshot is OKish for simple tasks.

Can Windows Movie Maker edit go pro videos? It's free. I use it to do simple edits of cell phone videos.

Do you have PC or Mac? If latter - then iMovie. If PC - davinci resolve is really good. Give it another try. I use it daily for editing gameplay videos and it’s the best tool among free ones with features available only in paid software.
