I would love to use an iPad to make easy edits to videos. What I do is very basic, yet I think advanced in a way. Here’s what I use FCP X on my Mac and I’m wondering if I could do the same on iOS via iMovie or another app:

- Import video that is saved locally
- Tag sections of the video
- Grab those tagged sections and then add them to a timeline
- Save the new video locally (or on iCloud) to then upload to YouTube.

Check out Lumafusion - it's excellent. Check out this guy's video - he did his editing on an iPad using Lumafusion -

I would also recommend LumaFusion for what you need to do.
 
Never use iMovie on iPad, but Lumafusion certainly can do what you described conveniently. It’s the nearest thing to FCP X on the iOS / iPadOS.
