I've been using this over the past week, and I'm amazed that this is a free program.  Apparently Blackmagic makes their money on their control surfaces you can use to run the software.  Far beyond what I'd ever need, especially all of the advanced grading features. 

Some tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj5Nh9NxSxdkz7wwX4Ltk74Q1ynf5fZzQ (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj5Nh9NxSxdkz7wwX4Ltk74Q1ynf5fZzQ)

I've been a Sony Vegas user for quite a while, but the word is that Sony isn't developing it anymore, and I've been looking for something more modern and intuitive anyway.  This looks like it!

The free version, I think, is limited to one node.

Color correction nodes are unlimited in all versions.  If you mean GPUs, then yes you are limited to 1 on the free version.

IIRC Ripple Training also has lessons on this. I enjoy their tutorials and would recommend sampling their free lessons.
