Any advice from the more experienced?
Essentially i want to make home videos thatll at least slightly impress people should i show them. Recently upgraded to an iphone 12 mini and think the camera and video is a big step up to what ive been used to and seems like im getting more and more good videos and shots. On a whim i bought a DJI OM3 and feel likes its an even bigger game changer and now all i need is the software to make the videos brilliant.
Ive played around with a few free apps on the phone and whilst getting some results feels like i can definitely get more. Jumped on to the pc to see what was available software wise, and came across davinci resolve. From a little playing around i feel this software could work for me with the slight issue that i cant even get it to play imported files. Im assuming this is because im on dated equipment although as a noob i could just as easily unchecked a play certain media format button.
Im not sure where to go from here? Ive somehow got to the way of thinking that i need to buy a 16gb mini mac for editing (and a 4k monitior! )but im going to assume this isnt the only route i should be looking at? I think im quite happy with the camera side of things, no doubt theres better/vfm options but im happy with that. Software id imagine id be able to work with most so not stuck to any.
Im happy to pay for software (ideally not a £300+ annual subscription though, its just for home videos after all), proividing itll run on whatever machine i have, currently its the iphone and pc. Its an i5 processor but yeh as mentioned cant play videos in davinci. I feel a new computer in some shape of form isnt a million miles away anyway hence leaning to a mac mini (m1). But being innocent, i dont know whats what.
Apologies for the waffle. Any assistance greatly appreciated, thank you.
