You're considering Lightworks for video editing. It's a paid option, but it might fit your budget if you're under $150. If not, other recommendations include exploring more affordable tools or checking for discounts.

Lightworks isn't great. I had to switch to Adobe Premiere for my 4K projects.

Adobe Premiere CC is quite effective, and you can opt for a monthly subscription instead of spending a lot upfront.

You’d prefer a single payment instead of ongoing fees. I’m also used to Videopad, though it generates many folders promoting other NCH products. I should note that as a student, my income isn’t steady.

Premiere elements costs around $80 and offers strong capabilities for many users. There are numerous affordable video editing tools available, and this guide effectively highlights them: Additionally, it's worth noting that Lightworks likely has a free version—why not explore that first?

The laptop came with PowerDirector, but it crashes right after launching. Poor Lenovo setup. Updated: Also, thanks m8

Before making any purchase, it's a good idea to try out a free version of several popular options. You wouldn't want to invest 50 to 150 dollars in software that ends up frustrating you. While I'm not sure how similar Premiere Elements and Premiere Pro are, I can confidently say that Premiere Pro is one of the top video editing tools I've used.

I should also note that it wouldn't allow me to run it with my R9 M275 because of "stability issues"

It seems the Sony Movie studio Platinum is going to be affordable, with excellent reviews on Steam.
