Replying to Editing & Camera +k for help

What does a higher quality camera give you? Does video editing software matter more than the camera?

These are two really nooby questions, but I am curious because I make ski edits with my phone.

If I post an edit to YouTube using a phone app (viva video) to put the video together, the video will be in very low quality. I then found wevideo and put another video together and posted that to youtube and the quality goes from 450 to 720...

The quality of the video increased a lot just by using a different editing software, and the software I used isn't even good software...

So basically what I am asking is couldn't you just get better editing software to make the good edit and not worry about buying an expensive camera?


I'm obviously a noob at the whole cinematography and photography thing so if someone could explain that would be great!
