What video editing SW: Alternative to GoPro Quik?

Hey all,

I'm interested in your recommendations for video editing software that is capable yet easy to use, and can run from a laptop. My typical videos have POV shots and are about 2 minutes in length, something like this:



I'm currently using GoPro Quik on my iPad.
What I like:

• easy to use: easy to throw clips together, add music, and generate a video I can upload to youtube or the socials. I can get this done in a few hours or less.
• it's AI is pretty good at automatically editing clip transitions and various effects, really making it look professional.

What I don't like:

• buggy. Often freezes where I need to reboot the iPad.
• lately have been having issues just saving or exporting edits, which is really annoying.
• product support doesn't seem all that great. The support page is full of similar complaints, with no real resolution other than "have you tried to reboot" or "try shortening the edit". If you spend several hours making a cool video, you don't want to lose it b/c the SW is crap.
• no desktop version, or at least the old desktop version is much different from the app. It is MUCH easier to edit on a desktop/laptop than iPad or iPhone.

I downloaded Blender but my first impression was, holy heck this is going to take a while to figure out. That said, I haven't spent any time with it. It does not look like it has the same "auto-edit" type functions that Quik does, so I'd have to figure out how to align clips with music, transition at the right time, etc., which I really don't feel like doing to be honest.

So, curious if there is anything out there. If the answer is, Quik is the best just deal with it, then OK. But if I can pick something up for <$100 that is as good as if not better, is more reliable, and works on a desktop, then I'd like to do that.

Thanks for your help
