Just read about some new pro tools beginning offered to the public. For people just beginning, on a limited budget or who are no good with AVIsynth (like me), there are some great things out there.
The first is not newly release but I still highly recommend it. If you need to color correct, Blackmagic's Davinci Resolve Lite is one of the best programs you can use. It recently moved to version 12:

They also just released a copy of their VFX software Fusion for free:

Fusion may not be 100% useful for project makers here but when it was released it forced the Foundry to make a non-commercial version of Nuke. Besides being great for VFX work, Nuke contains a whole host of tools for moving, arranging and fixing images:

here are some nice video guides of what it can do:

Both programs can do limited editing but are no where near the level of a pro NLE, like Premiere, Final Cut or the big boy Avid. What's nice is later this year Avid will release a stripped down, free version of their Composer software called, Avid Media Composer First:

The details are still sketchy at this time but it the release offers half what the full software does, this will be a great program.
Pretty much all of these are locked into the 1080p world opposed to 4K. But when you put them all together you can achieve some great results.
