"Free and pretty powerful"
"More features"
"Full fledged video editing tool with most of the advanced video editing functionality"
"Easily Davinci Resolve! It's free and it has way more than you'll need just starting. There's a TON of tutorials on it on youtube if you ever have any questions."
"The best free one"
"Pro program for free"
"It's free and you can do a lot of things with it"
"Closest to Premiere Pro and the most powerful for free"
"Free online courses for beginners"
"They offer a free version that's excellent and can track faces and other selections. The beauty effects are also nice for skin softening and blemish removal, and color grading is excellent. There is a learning curve, but you can pick up the basics quickly. If you want to go really advanced, this is the software used in Hollywood productions, so you can go nuts if you want to."

"Great"
"But if you don't have a good or minimum of a mid-end PC, you can try out Olive Editor (PLS USE v0.1 until a new version is made, even if it is unsupported; it seems like some basic features was missing when I used the Dev version [that might have changed a little bit tho]). The interface are similar than Premiere Pro, but it seems to be actually slightly easier to use on default settings"
