There’s got to be a better way! Video Editing Tools
Howie J: Depends on how much editing you need to do. Premiere Pro is great, but if you just need to splice out some things, the free Movie Maker in Windows (you’ll have to download it if you’re on 8 or later) and iMovie on iOS pretty powerful for FREE.
