Clipchamp works for simple vertical edits if you want browser-based editing. It is not my choice for heavy work, but for trimming clips and adding text, it is easy enough.

Premiere Pro is better if you are doing serious editing or client work, but it is overkill for quick Reels. The subscription also adds up. Use it if you need control, not just because it is famous.

CapCut desktop is probably the easiest for Reels and TikToks. It is built around short-form editing, captions and templates. Just avoid making everything look like the same template everyone else uses.
