I expect the true professionals to scoff at this, so give me your best shot 
Foldable phones are a game-changer for video editing and production in the field. I imagine that, under the right circumstances, a phone-produced end product can even be suitable for professional use, selling and making money. Don't know, as I don't sell my creations.
So, back to the point: I used to do all of my post production on a laptop, using Adobe Premier. Bought a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 two years ago and still have it. It's an incredible phone to have if you shoot drone video.
With a fast USB C to UHS-II adapter, I do the vast majority of my post on the Z Fold 2, using PowerDirector Mobile. With a touchscreen capable stylus, fine edits can be easily achieved.
One of this biggest value propositions is I can do rough editing, add music/sound, etc. in the field on site. This has given me the opportunity, many times, to put the bird back in the air and reshoot, or shoot entirely new footage that I only realized I needed after doing the creative part of post production.
This has become such an easy and efficient work flow that it's my main platform for PP now. I still go back to the bigger platform for things not well supported with limited features on the mobile app ā color grading comes to mind ā but even that can be done decently with the basic adjustment tools on mobile (exposure, brightness, contrast, color temp, highlights, shadows, saturation, hue). Rarely need a scope or some of the fancier stuff to get good results.
Anyone else using a tablet or foldable phone for most PP these days? Man these portable devices have come a long way, baby!
