Yeah! This is one of the most frequently asked questions. You should just start with whatever you have. You can begin with free software and according to me, there's no heavy difference between free and paid. I started with the free version of wondershare filmora, and later on, I switched to Adobe Premiere Pro. Once you download the free software, start with any free video editing course and practice along with the tutor. You can pick up any courses available online, but I suggest you go with the video editing basics course by Great Learning which is well structured and completely free.
