Video editing software

[FowlersFreeTime]

Video is not a big part of this forum, I know, but some of you dabble in it and some of the new users who join might be interested in video too. I want to get back into editing little videos of my kid and family vacations, otherwise the video clips just live on my hard drive and never see the light of day. I struggled to use Adobe Premiere during the pandemic (when I thought I could become a Youtuber), only to find out that video editing is several orders of magnitude worse than photo editing, a truly depressing exercise. I have even less time and/or energy as a parent of a 3yr old now.

So, has anyone come across a video editing program that is more on the basic side, easy to learn, and hopefully doesn't have a subscription? I would like to edit 4k clips from my gopro and A6700, but no fancy music or transitions and definitely no color grading.
Thoughts?

Windows photos has basic editing capabilities.

I have Cyberlink Director Suite - which includes photo, video and audio modules (available separately). Very powerful capabilities & recommended by PC Magazine, but I found it a bit cumbersome. YMMV. I've cancelled my annual subscription. You can download and try it out for 30 days before paying. Windoze & MacOS compatible.
