I wonder if people that have used both Lightworks and Vegas would agree with me on the rendering speeds? For me, it was very noticeable. And the rendering speeds of Vegas felt 5 times as slow compared to Lightworks, especially for bigger projects. Vegas is good, but I was so used to the workflow of Lightworks that it took me a while to get the hang of. I ended up narrowing it down to Vegas Pro or Lightworks for being my primary video editor. And Kdenlive was just buggy on Windows (but a very good editor on Linux). Lightworks is definitely more powerful than most open source editors, like Shotcut, Olive Editor, and Openshot. So I took Resolve off the list because of that. Resolve was very nice, but my computer couldn't quite handle it without lag or frequent crashes (which is my fault, not of Resolve itself). I've tried a lot of the open source editors (Shotcut, Kdenlive, ect) and also quite a few of the paid ones, such as Lightworks, Resolve, and Vegas Pro. I went through a two year period where I was trying tons of different editors.
