That’s funny Devinchi is like my preferred video editor. To each their own though ---

Alot if people love it! And i have spent many many hours editing with it. BUT, i have to look up a tutorial for every single little basic thing and it’s just SO frustrating and not user friendly at all. Maybe it’s just me, but i can and have figures out every single video editor on my own without tutorials. But not devinchi. Plus, it doesn’t accept my MiniDV footage so… never touching that editor again. I really want to love it because it’s so powerful but also makes me wanna tear my eyes out. ---

I’ve been in a similar spot with older camcorder footage and newer systems not playing nice. My workflow ended up being pretty much what you’re describing, capturing on a Windows machine using WinDV, then transferring files to a Mac for editing. I actually gave up on Resolve pretty quick too, it’s just too bloated for what I needed. Final Cut is nice if you’re fully in the Mac ecosystem, but I didn’t want the subscription trap or the price tag for something I do casually. I started messing around with a few tools until I landed on one that worked with both my HD and SD footage decently. If you’re still open to trying different options, there are some solid options in the [video editing software](https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/free-video-editing-software.html) free category that aren’t as annoying as the paywall-heavy ones and still give decent export quality.
