I went through the process recently of searching for decent video editing software at a decent price and I ended up getting the new Power Director 15 suite, which also comes with audio and color editing/correction companion programs depending on the version you get.
The interface is very intuitive and easy to grasp. There are some hidden software features you have to initially search out, but the help and index screens do a good job of getting you where you need to be going. Final output is what you'd expect, and you have a good deal of control over many important factors along the way that will dictate what you end up with. All in all, it was the best PC video editing software I found for the price, having come from a Mac background solely. (Spent most of my earlier life as a graphic artist and print journalist, two worlds in which the graphic-intense Macs ruled.)
One additional benefit of using Power Director 15 is the unlimited online access you get for the thousands of templates and video effects they offer you for free, for everything from text titles and credits to image special effects, scene transitions and much more. There are a lot of them that you will never use, but I was surprised at just how many really decent and useful freebies they have, and apparently more are generated daily.
FYI: Customer service for Cyberlink, creators of PD15, is outsourced, so do not expect an English-speaking representative if you need to call them. Not a big deal for me and just a normal part of living in a modern global market economy, but undeniably frustrating when you have a relatively simple question to ask and basic communication is thwarted due to this language barrier. I bring this up only because telephone customer support at Cyberlink is available only if you purchase it separately, which I did, for something like $29, if I recall correctly, for two months. I had a simple question for them, got through to them and discussed my issue, but I hung up the phone no more enlightened than I was from the get go. Still, not a big problem. I figured out the answer for myself and realized I'll probably never have a reason to call them again in the next two months, so I wouldn't spring for the telephone support option if you ultimately settled on this product.
Good luck finding the package you're looking for. DaVinci Resolve's free version has a lot to offer, too, but my initial impression of that software was it would require a fair amount of time investment to learn it adequately to call yourself proficient with it, although I gather some folks use Resolve just in post production for the plethora of photographic and video enhancements and editing options it offers. In my case - and I'm sure you can relate to this - I have to be time conscious about such matters as there simply are not enough hours in the average day to live, work, fly, travel back and forth, download and edit what I captured, put it through post production, and then disseminate it. To add to that a time commitment of several hours a day to better understand a photo/video editing platform is, unfortunately, just not practical or in the cards for me.
