After evaluation of multiple options few years back I have chosen Davinci Resolve.
At that time that was version 12 now it is 14.

For me this is best video grading and editing SW, I tried many of them before I made my final choice
Also it has excellent support for GPUs, and it could use multiple number of video cards simultaneously for heavy video processing tasks thus providing excellent performance.
Could look a bit complicated at the beginning but mastering it not too difficult - there are tons of training videos on different features.
I originally thought about recommending Resolve....but if someone is a true noob...there's quite a steep learning curve with Resolve...that and it is a beastly resource hog...you really gotta have lots of CPU, GPU, RAM and really good fast drives, like having off system SSD disks, etc for caching, etc.
I'm really wanting to get into Resolve 14, but I gotta get a new computer.
Trying to decide if I'm going with loading up a new 5K iMac pro when they come out...or trying to research and do a thread ripper system build.....
I'd want to put Linux on the latter....and while I do sysadmin work for my day job, not sure I wanna spend all the time and resources trying to figure out and tune a linux system to work with Resolve.
I try not to do windows unless I have to......
Anyway....guess I'll go buy my powerball ticket and hope for a winner to get some new computer gear!!!
