As a scientist, my expertise lies in the field of scientific research and data analysis, so I am not well-versed in the realm of video editing software. However, I can offer some general advice and recommendations for finding a suitable free video editing software for your needs.

Firstly, it is important to determine what specific features and capabilities you require in a video editing software. For your purposes, it seems that you need a software that allows for text overlay and object highlighting. Some popular free video editing software options include DaVinci Resolve, HitFilm Express, and OpenShot. These programs offer a variety of tools for editing and enhancing videos, including the ability to add text and highlight objects.

I also suggest doing some research and reading reviews from other users to get a better understanding of the capabilities and user-friendliness of each software. Additionally, you may want to consider the compatibility of the software with your computer and video file formats.

In terms of the videos you saw on YouTube, it is difficult to determine the exact software they were using without more information. However, many content creators on YouTube use Adobe Premiere Pro, which is a paid software but offers a free trial period. It may be worth considering if you are looking for more advanced features and are willing to invest in a paid program.

In summary, there are many free video editing software options available, and it is important to carefully consider your specific needs and do some research before choosing one. I hope this information is helpful in your search for a suitable video editing software.
