See, the best software I would recommend is Adobe Premiere Pro (Use the latest version).
I use it on my Gen 1 , i7 laptop with SSD and 8 gigs of ram and it runs smoothly ignoring the rendering time it takes.
In it you have total control of your raw footage.
You can edit your audio too and cut it frame by frame which is very complicated in other flagship softwares like Filmora.
The only drawback I found in using Premiere Pro is that it lacks video, text transition presets. But you can easily make it if you know the basics.
