video editor recommendation please

asking here cause why not

im basically planning on making a couple hundred youtube music videos where I translate the lyrics from folk songs in remote languages into english, similar to this:

[Embed]

I've been using premiere and I fricking hate it, I have little experience with video editing and spend 80%+ of the time dicking around with the software trying to get it to work, and only a tiny fraction of the time actually getting stuff done

I've learned other relatively complex software like zbrush/photoshop/blender/houdini just fine but can't stand premiere, doesn't have simple quality of life things like being able to move text along an axis by pressing shift; had another issue where I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why the export button wasn't working and it was apparently because I didn't have the timeline selected (???????).

I basically just need to
1) be able to easily add and manipulate text and make it look nice/professional (shadow/etc)
2) only need to add one single image per video - preferably with some tools like color balance/vignette and such to make it look nice, but that's not strictly necessary since I can do it externally
3) as little complexity/features as possible beyond those two things so I don't get a headache and waste my time

tl;dr need a simple video editor recommendation

        Is there an OCR tool for recognizing and time hardcoded subtitles? (hardcoded on the bottom black bar)

          why not just run the audio to text again since the subtitles are a translation of the audio?

    >use aegisub to play the video and write the subtitles
    >do a bit of research with ffmpeg to find your perfect style
    >once you have your .srt file you literally copy paste one ffmpeg command, wait 10 minutes and the video is ready
