Anybody got any recommendations for cheap video editing software for a beginner?
I'm thinking about Adobe Premiere Elements right now, dunno if there is anything better.
Blender is free

Looks like that's mostly for 3d modeling.

It is, but it has a full video editing package built into it. You just select it from the top of the screen and all the tools switch over to timeline/preview/render settings/etc. Transition effects and stuff are already built in as well.
In fact having the 3D modeling functionality in the same program is great because the different modes of Blender "talk" to each other. You can use the modeler to create a 3D effect and work it directly into your video. For example, create a 3D scene and link different video channels to several different surfaces in the scene. Set keyframe transitions as you move around the scene, changing perspective while the video channels play in real-time, and then render that entire sequence out as its own video. As an exercise, try doing that in Premiere.

Kdenlive is pretty cash, Pitivi is for simple stuff
After Effects is pretty based

If your end goal is to do editing professionally, then premiere/resolve/final cut/lightworks/etc are the way to go, they're the industry's standards, after all. They also have the most plugins available so expandability is great.
everything is free on the internet

AE is great, but it's pretty shitty to use as a video editor in the end.. although I'm quite stoked to see if they really expand its capacities in the coming update.
I asked the same question at one point, never got an answer and just ended up pirating Vegas.
It's okay.

I don't do a lot with it, and whatever the version I have installed is more than enough for my needs.
I mainly use it for trimming/combining various bits of video and adjusting brightness and contrast to fix overexposure issues.
New releases/updates aren't gonna do much for me, really.

VideoPad
shotcut is a thing
You can get older versions of movie studio platinum for around $30 if you look hard enough
I use one called Filmora for cutting together basic promo videos, since work generally frowns on the idea of pirating the shit out of Adobe's stuff.
Though srsly, pirate the shit out of Adobe's stuff.
