Answers.Text: Davinci resolve is free and a paid version. Both are the same but the paid version has more pro features. Adobe premier has a 30 day trail and then it is a monthly subscription. The only one I know which costs $300 is FCPX which i didn't recommend as you are running windows but again that does have a trail of you are on a Mac

Answers.Text: Davinci Resolve does indeed have a free version. I hadn't read far enough. Sadly it won't import my videos at all, it just silently fails.
