Despite these features, I find it laggy and buggy to use, and you need an extremely fast system or it will glitch and close itself in the middle of your project, losing all your work if you do not save every few minutes.
My personal favorite option and current software is Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve. Originally a color correction software, it has added a very competent editor that will fit all your needs. It also features an industry-used color grading package. Resolve 12.5 is free for non-commercial use from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ca/...davinciresolve

I used DaVinci Resolve to color correct and edit this video, as well as many others:

Hopes this helps,

I just spent part of the day playing with Resolve 12.5, ignore my recommendations above, listen to Matthew and use this. From what I can tell so far it's the best free video editing package for windows.
