Currently getting into it, I'm a long time Premiere editor. It's that good. In many ways it feels more polished than Premiere and the grading tools are definitely way beyond what Premiere offers.

It’s great and not hard to learn. I find most NLEs fairly similar for the meat and potatoes of editing. And as the parent said, it’s got a free version. And it isn’t a gimped free version either. I’ve used it on production projects.

It also comes with Fusion built in which is a great effects app. Using nodes has been a fun new approach to effects that I’ve really enjoyed.

And the paid Studio version is a once-off purchase. No subscriptions and free updates. A breath of fresh air.
