I’ve used Lightworks Kdenlive and Shotcut video editors. I still use all three. Lightworks is the most difficult to master Shotcut is the easiest to use.
I tried VideoPad a long time ago. It is not as easy to use as it’s advertised. The free version had some restrictions that kicked in after a few weeks. I removed the application and never went back to it.
As @samth pointed out you can do a lot with SC. You need to make an effort to do it. No video editor will automatically create what you want with no effort.
This was done with SC. No external application was used.
