Hollywood-grade video editing + colour grading + audio post + VFX in one app. The free version is wildly capable. $295 one-time for Studio.
Started as a colour-grading system (da Vinci), Blackmagic bought it in 2009 and merged in NLE functionality. Six "pages": Media, Cut, Edit, Fusion (VFX/compositing), Color, Fairlight (audio), Deliver. Powers high-end colour grading suites and indie YouTubers in the same app. Aggressive pricing (the free version is more capable than many paid competitors) is meant to pull users into the Blackmagic hardware ecosystem. Competition: Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer.
