Has adobe changed their business model and stopped charging regular amateur consumers of the street many hundreds of dollars to use their software products?
If they are like microsoft they probably want you to sign up for a continuing subscription service so they can keep milking the cow.
If you just want to part time edit some video to upload to rumble or youtube or something, please don’t give people like Adobe your money.
I’m sorry I don’t have an actual suggestion for you because I don’t create videos and haven’t done so in a very long time, but I’m sure there must be some free or economical products out there that do a nice job. I think the one I used way back in the day was made by Ulead video studio and back in the day it wasn’t free but not fairly economical.
Yes, there are free options, DaVinci has one.
