When I first got a drone, I know that I didn't think about editing/post at all, which was pretty naïve of me. I didn't even have an SD card reader  Since then, I picked up a used iMac and downloaded DaVinci Resolve to do my editing. In terms of hardware and software for editing I really don't know that much, but I'm sure that on here there are tons of people with tons of experience and tons of knoweledge that could be really helpful to us lay-people.
So, what do you guys use for post production? What do you recommend/what works/what doesn't? Desktops vs laptops, Apples vs PCs, Adobe vs DaVinci vs iMove vs whatever else?
As for what I'm doing right now, I've got a late 2012 3.4 GHz i7 iMac with 32 GB RAM running DaVinci Resolve (the free version). Really quick generally until I do anything in Fusion then things slow way down. For me, mainly doing smaller projects with Mavic Air/Osmo Pocket, it works great.
Madebyvadim has some really good posts/thread on production/post-production process—super in-depth with lots of good info:
"Why does your footage look like a drone video, not an aerial film?" - https://forum.dji.com/thread-182436-1-1.html
"How to post-process and make a cinematic drone film" - https://forum.dji.com/thread-180961-1-1.html
But, I'm thinking more in terms of hardeware and software that people use opposed to process.
Anyway, please feel free to share your experience so those of us who are lacking in that department can draw on yours.
Thanks in advance!
