Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro – The industry standard with the deepest tutorial/plugin ecosystem and tightest integration with After Effects and Photoshop, making it the safest choice if you'll eventually work with other creators or studios professionally.
Claude
HitFilm
HitFilm Express – A solid free option if you want built-in visual effects and compositing tools without paying, though the interface is a bit dated and monetization nags can be annoying.
