DaVinci Resolve is professional grade video editing software that’s completely free to use. It lacks some features that the paid version has but this probably doesn’t effect the vast majority of casual users.
Second this. Blackmagic’s DaVinci Resolve is amazing. Probably my favorite video editor (although I usually have to use Adobe Premiere for work). It’s fast, fairly easy to use and probably has everything you need unless you’re doing very specific and high end professional work. It’s also rock solid. The only time I had problems was when I tried to render a few dozen (simple) timelines in one queue on a MacBook with 8GB of memory. Can’t exactly blame DaVinci for crashing on me there.
And as a bonus: it even runs on Linux. Although kdenlive is also a surprisingly good alternative there.
And even better, hiring companies for people who are video pros like myself are starting to ask if you’re familiar with it. They’ve realized they don’t have to pay Adobe’s stupid fees.
Will always mention its mildly scummy they put user created free addons behind the paid studio version, you can buy some of their equipment and it comes with the studio version to save money (one time fee)

The industry should resort to Resolve as a default. Tired of Adobe’s bullshit.

Recent change like 1-2 months ago, if you’re still on an older version you wouldn’t notice
