Did you try Shotcut? https://www.shotcut.org/
I had the same bad experience than you with Pitivi, Openshot and KDEnlive. Then I discovered shotcut and I was finally able to work. And it's FLOSS.

Shotcut
Window's 10 Video editor.

Some free options include Kdenlive and Shotcut. I would have previously recommended Wondershare Filmora, but they recently did some pretty shady things with their licensing and I'd avoid them now despite the software actually being quite good.

I messed these up. I tried fixing it by reinstalling, didn't work: I'm now using the standalone portable version and it's still messed up. What do I do? Where are these located? Is there a way to get the default render profiles?

If you want to manually fix them, one by one, there is the link: https://github.com/KDE/kdenlive/blob/master/data/profiles.xml

Yes, x86-64 applications only run on 64-bit computers. I don't believe Kdenlive provides precompiled binaries, but you can download the source code and compile it yourself. Download the source code of the latest Kdenlive version here, then follow these instructions.
