I have tried the Free Version, the free trial for educators, and the Unlimited Plan. Of these three, the Unlimited is the most useful.
Free: Only get 5 minutes publish time and minimal options
Trial for Educators: Stamp in the upper right, and minimal options, not as easy to use
Unlimited Plan: This is the one that I ended up going with. No cap on publish time, reasonably priced, basic options, but worth the money for ease of use.

Right now, I use this program for editing virtual class meetings- taking the recording of the full meeting and splitting it up into individual lessons for assignments. I have found it easy to use, makes quality videos, and is connected to a variety of other platforms you can upload to (including Google Drive, which is where I can upload to the virtual classroom from).

I have also used this for personal use- a music video, a collaboration video with clips uploaded from my Google Drive, and educational videos. It has a variety of sound effects, text options, backgrounds, music tracks, and the ability to add various tracks to be able to stack the videos on, edit how small/big and location each track is on the screen.

You can create different projects to organize the kinds of videos you make to- I have my personal projects, classroom read alouds, and virtual lessons in their own projects. When I upload them to Google Drive, it sends them all into a specific WeVideo folder and I can move it from there to where I want it within my Drive.

There are a few downsides I've found, but aren't worth ditching the program for- some of the offered backgrounds/music tracks are only available through certain plans. So if you search for a certain background and use it, you may unknowingly end up without it in your final product because you haven't paid for that plan.

The other downside is it seems to take a while to process the videos (importing and exporting). But again, not worth avoiding it for.
