What is the best free video editor with no watermark?

DaVinci Resolve is the best free video editor with no watermark. The free version is used for real films and TV, exports up to 4K, and never adds a watermark. For something simpler, Clipchamp comes with Windows 11 and exports 1080p free without a watermark, and iMovie is free on Mac and iPhone.
