View submission: December What Editing Software should I use?

Hi, fellow video enthusiasts!

I record a lot of underwater footage with my GoPro at full resolution (8:7). This gives me the flexibility to reframe the videos into 16:9 or 9:16 formats, depending on the target platform.

So far, I’ve been using the GoPro Quik app for this. While it’s limited in many areas, it excels at reframing. Its simple interface lets me select the desired aspect ratio and drag the frame box to keep the subject in view—a feature I find super convenient (check the screenshot[1]).

I’ve tried other well-known tools like DaVinci Resolve, Kdenlive, and Shotcut, but none of them seem to offer such an intuitive reframing tool.

Do you know of any alternatives that provide a similar, user-friendly experience for reframing?

I have not seen anything like that for desktop use…nor for mobile. I've tried/installed 95% of the apps in this thread. Resolve has a reframe tool - but it's not as easy/smooth as Quik;
