best free video editing software?

Any suggestions on the best free video editing software?

PC, windows 10

Particularly interested in being able to have several 'pictures within the picture' at the same time, preferably each with its own audio track.

Here's why:

I play in a music group and in the current lock-down we can't get together so I'm thinking about a project to get several players to record and video themselves separately, send them to me, and I then edit them all together as a 'virtual ensemble'. I can do this as audio, but I want to do it with video so that each player gets their own 'window' in the frame.

There are lots of examples of people doing this at the moment (on facebook, etc) but I don't know what software or Apps they use

As I said, preferably free, or failing that, then 'cheap'

thanks.
