Which software for my needs? Pls help

[Rooz]

Hey guys! Could you help me finding the right editing software for what I want to do with it?

Something like capcut is not enough unfortunately and the adobe stuff is too expensive. I would pay half of that price max…

I want to edit photos and videos.
What I need for photo editing:

An easy way to cutout stuff. Resolve is even to complicated for my taste.
Also i would like to re-shape stuff; for example:
I want to bend a straight pole to a u shape.

For videos:

I need to adjust speed of a video to an audio file precisely.
Clarification: I remixed a song used acapella of a track , made new music and put the acapella on top. The remix is 2 bpm slower than the original, but I want the original video of the song to match the remix.


-also I want to be able to do this:

(Random example) I have a short 5 seconds video of me walking. I want to edit the head of a dog on my body and follow my walking.
With capcut keyframes it’s just not precise enough when I do quick movements.


Also i want to do simple lyrics videos. They absolutely don’t have to be special, but I don’t want to spend an hour or more for this. (For songs).
But that would be just a bonus and I could live without a good possibility of doing easy lyrics videos.


Any idea? Is there something cheaper than adobe that can do this and isn’t complicated?

Thanks

Magix Vegas is considered easier to use than Adobe.
