Adobe Premiere Pro
Shotcut - simple; free
Lightworks - simple; free version limited to 720p H.264
Avid Media Composer First - Free version of the powerful Avid; reviewer found it cumbersome & heavy
Hitfilm Express - very similar to Premiere
Kdenlive - free & opensource
filmora pro - free version leaves watermark; $150 pro version; very similar to Premiere
HandBrake - open source video transcoder
FFmpeg - "FFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play. All builds require at least Windows 7 or Mac OS X 10.10."

Example usage: since Adobe software can't handle MKV files (probably because Adobe is evil) I used FFmpeg to demux the mkv container to mp4, which Adobe can handle. Unlike transcoding, demuxing should unpack the container losslessly, AFAIK. There's no official GUI (although lots of software uses FFmpeg) so the demuxing was done via commandline:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -codec copy output.mp4
...substituting
input.mkv
andoutput.mp4
with the actual filenames (see post). And as usual, first we must addffmpeg
to PATH.
OBS Studio - Screen recording & streaming
