    I have worked on Avid, FCP, Premiere, as a professional editor. If your PC has adequate (gaming-level) graphics power, this is as Pro as you're going to get for free. Not only an NLE, also colorist and sound mixing suite that compares with the Adobe video production tools. Now has AI for auto transcription a la Avid et al. The paid-for Studio version has advanced features that you probably don't need, but try out the free version first.

    It's practically the same, but costs less and does a little bit less. Final Cut Pro is basically a better version of iMovie. If you know iMovie, you know Final Cut Pro.

    It can only work with one video and one audio track. Trying to synch audio/video from more then one source is difficult.
