I wish there was a similar equivalent for video editing. I tried vinci but it crashed the first time I tried it.

Avidemux is nice, but I can hardly add text or do simple effect with it, maybe with some scripting?

The new windows video editor is pretty good too, but features are quite limited.

I have some nice ideas for /r/highqualitygifs but I really don't want to use a professional video editor.

There are libraries to decode and render video with sfml and sdl, and i guess I could easily build a tailored editor myself with adequate ffmpeg commands...
