here's my casual point of view as a gamer who likes to sometimes capture gameplay and upload to youtube. My biggest pain points are that all the good video editors are paid, and the free ones are total crap.

Here's what i need from a video editor : ability to cut/copy/move video across timeline

add/remove audio tracks and adjust their volume + mute certain parts

apply cool transitions here and there

add text overlay and text frames

and all this without the 1000 knobs and buttons in the pro editors, and without the buggy and ugly free editors

I would pay 10-15$ for such editor per year. After all it's for casual use. anything more than that and it would make me wanna pirate it.
