Have an amazing day, and I hope you're able to figure it out! :) If you have any other questions, feel free to message me on Discord (Mettox#5680) - I'd be happy to assist you or further speak with you! When you say you want to make 'good looking edits,' if you mean Instagram edits like these, it would be more advisable to learn something like After Effects (especially with plugins such as Sapphire). I strongly recommend that you refrain from using software such as OpenShot (unless you really just want to learn the basics), as well as both online video editors (that don't require downloads), and mobile video editors. Other alternatives include Lightworks, HitFilm, and Shotcut.

The nice thing about video editing is that once you learn a skill, you can essentially use it no matter what software you decide to use later on (so long as it supports the feature). However, if you're not comfortable with using it, that's understandable. Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Filmora, etc.), and can confidently say that Resolve is, especially if you want to learn more/familiarize yourself with video editing, one of the best options. Regrading your second question, I've been studying (and doing) video editing for a majority of my life, and have experience using (or spending time learning about) a majority of what can be considered video editing software (e.g.

It has been/is used in shows such as American Horror Story, Arrow, Big Bang Theory, The Walking Dead, The Flash, etc., and has been used in movies such as Star Wars, Avatar, La La Land, etc. Resolve has been the industry-standard software used for colour grading, and is on its way to being (and already has been by many) recognized as a viable alternative (to current software) for film editing as well. So long as you're downloading it from their actual website, I can say with almost complete certainty that there's nothing 'fishy' about it, and if you have any concerns, they have a Discord server with members whom I'm sure would be happy to help.

Their free version of the software offers more than what some other programs offer in their paid versions. DaVinci resolve is undoubtedly the best free video editor available, and it's already one of the world's most powerful NLEs (non-linear video editors).
