Hello.
I took some piano lessons with Edna Golandsky in person, which I recorded with 2 camera angles (iPhone and GoPro Black 7). Now I need to edit them.
What I need to do is pretty simple, but I'm ignorant when it comes to video, and hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction and I can do it without purchasing an expensive app...
All I want to do is>
-- Change a video from portrait to landscape (or viceversa)
-- Sync and join the 2 video camera angles in one single video, so they both are landscape or portrait, one above or to the side of the other (this is the most important one)
-- Do a few basic cuts here and there
-- Set and apply a few simple color corrections (make it a little brighter)
-- While this is not a requirement (I could do it in DP), it would be nice if I could increase the volume gain a little and apply some compression/limiting.
That's it!
Right now I'm looking for iMovie tutorials to see if I can do it there, but so far no luck with those specific points. It would be SWEET if I could do those things there... Do you know if it's possible, or do I need a more pro app?
Thanks!
Video editing software for these simple edits??

Re: Video editing software for these simple edits??
OMG!
Thanks, but never mind.
This iMovie thing is so intuitive that I figured out how to do it just by staring at the app and watching a 4 minute intro video.
All what I wanted is right there. It was probably faster than typing my help post.
And it's "free"...
Done!
And you don't even have to
