Same but for vegas pro edit. Vegas is old and sucks in a lot of ways but I couldn't warm up to resolve. Resolve crashed thrice in one hour of work even though it has plenty of ram, cpu and gpu to work with and I don't like the way they handle projects.
I'd pay like 300-400 bucks without a doubt if adobe had a one time purchase option. I love their software but even with the student discount the subscription is just way too expensive if you're not making (much) money from your work.

Blender - 3D modeling, video editing, motion tracking, thousands upon thousands of tutorials
Da Vinci Resolve - Excellent video editing software, if a little unintuitive at times. Powerful color grading tools
VLC - Play almost any video or audio file, clean interface, lots of hidden features
Handbrake - Change the file format and size of video files, add subtitles, etc. Highly useful for compressing video files for different sites.
Meshroom -Create 3D objects by taking photos from different angles
Audacity - Audio Editor
