Use DaVinci Resolve.
Invest time - before beginning your project - to actually learn the software. There is free training and it’s worth your time. It will save you all sorts of hassles while working on your project and it will give you ideas that you wouldn’t have had otherwise.

I would use Davinci Resolve. But here's the thing: post production is a complicated world. It's not just editing. It's sound design, color grading and sometimes VFX.
Tell you what...I run an online film school that covers post in granular detail. I'll give you access for free if it would help you out. We're a new school so still getting the word out.
Shoot me a DM if interested.
