Could you not just post one thread to ask all your questions, why have you spammed 11 threads?

What kind of editing exactly? For simple tasks FFmpeg is perfect, it's lightweight, supports batch operations too. Someone posted several useful commands in this thread specially for YT editing: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/useful-ffmpeg-command-lines-for-youtube.972089/

If you are a beginner in editing go with Filmora crk available
Adobe premiere,sony vegas,davinci if you have high spec system and good editing skills
Else try opensource editors - openshot or shotcut

If you plan to do this longterm I would go with some industry standards so you don't have to switch in the future:

- Adobe Premiere Pro
- Adobe After Effects
- Sony Vegas

in that order.

Filmora is very good for beginners, eventually, you will want to move on to adobe probably, depending on what you are doing.

Final Cut Pro is the best by a million miles, but you need a Mac for it,

Have lots of respect for Premier Pro but Final Cut is my go-to any day of the week.

I would say it's not as advanced as Premier but it moves fast. Final Cut is perfect is you want to move through tons of project files on a regular basis. With Premier - you might need a good GPU and CPU for to make it all happen fast.

Of course you will need a Mac, but man, it moves and renders so fast.
The features that you will miss out on compared to Premier Pro can easily be downloaded as a plugin - lots of which are for free!
