I want to edit videos but not spend a dime, and using ffmpeg is starting to feel a bit too ghetto

Davinci Resolve, it’s not open source, but it’s the only freeware that is actually used in the film industry.

(Edit: Besides Lightworks, but unless you are working for Scorsese it’s pretty much EOL)

If you want libre, kdenlive. If you want gratis, Resolve.

Libre is free as in freedom, the source code is open and you can modify the program, extend it, use it for whatever you want.

Gratis is free of cost, but you can’t modify it or even see how it functions and there’s an end user licence agreement with a list of things you cannot use the program for.
