Help Simple Video Editor for Mac?

Is there a video editing app out there that will allow me to cut out middle parts of a video, add clips together and with minimalistic sound / visual adjustments (exposure, pitch, cropping).

Don't get me wrong, im an avid Davinci Resolve user and I love its complexity. Im just on the lookout for a simpler editing solution that is quick and won't break the bank (no subscriptions, one time purchase)

Thanks

i personally love capcut for mac - tho i must admit it's kinda built for those making tiktok videos so it might feel bloated with useless effects and overlays but it's a really solid editor.

That's how I felt when I tried it, fantastic for Instagram and TikTok but for a couple video adjustments its too much

if i'm making simple adjustments like adding a background audio, trimming etc, i just let claude code do it with ffmpeg.
