Basic.  Usable.  Nowhere near as easy or flexible as the defunct serif editor.
Trial version has a watermark
Rendering speed is OK.  Stabilisation feature works well.
Help is online.  No offline help.
Screen recorder is an extra charge.
WARNING 

So I see this add online.
So I decide to buy.

I've already down loaded the trial version.
When I enter my activation code, I get told wrong version.
Looks like the $39 is for last years model.

So I download the appropriate version which turns out to be videoeditor15

It feels like Movavi has a gazillion incantactions of almost the same thing but not quite.

At the end of the day I have no real idea of what I have bought or should buy

Davinci Resolve (Black Magic)
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/davinciresolve/
Seems awkward


FILMORA 9
Frustratingly slow.  I also suspect that it wont work without the internet.

 

 

 

 

 

openshot.org

Rendering seems to loose resolution
scrub seems hard.  No grouping clips - seem to have to move each one.

Cyberlink Power Director

Trimming seemed cumbersome.
in fact te whole timeline operation was awkward.
There are times when one clicks things like to render export and it takes forever to open the screen.

trial videos watermarked.

Vegas PRO

So far OK.
Timeline seems OK
Titling is awkward
Rendering is slow but I have not worked out yet how to match output to input format
My input is 1920x1080 25fps
ie 1080i
I think my output is different
