The usual way is to edit the scenes on your computer and then upload the finished, edited files to UMD or another selling site. Given the file sizes, editing "on line" is ilable to be a frustrating experience?

Yes...it will be a frustrating experience because free online editor sites will impose limits on the time duration of your video, typically 5 minutes, and the number of downloads, and or they will emboss their watermark on your video. The only way to get rid of the time restrictions and watermarks is to purchase their premium software.
Youtube has an online editor that will allow you do basic trimming of your content, but you can't use Youtube to upload NSFW adult content.
I am an old school guy so I use offline editors like Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere and Pinnacle, but they require some learning to use those.
Ironically, the simplest free editors today are if you use an iPhone or Android phone to shoot videos and use their apps to edit your smartphone media in the cloud.
I don't know if it's still free (there is a paid version of course), but the video editor I have on my laptop is called DaVinci Resolve. It's primarily used in the film/video industry for color correction, but it has a built-in timeline editor that works just as well as any of the other big-name video editors. It's got a little bit of a learning curve, but tutorials are plentiful on YouTube and if you know the basics of using a non-linear digital editing system, it should be pretty easy to get accustomed and start splicing videos together.

All this cake, there must be a princess somewhere.

Resolve Studio is what I specifically use in all my edits but there are others like Premiere Pro. Resolve is better imo for color grading and audio editing in post. Premiere is great all around and has plenty of 3rd party support. Both work well for simple editing. Just depends on how deep down the rabbit hole you wanna go.
I'll echo what other people have said about DaVinci Resolve. There's a bit of a learning curve, but it's worthwhile if you're going to do this frequently.
The wider question is what do you mean by "edit"?
If you just want to trim out some sections of the video and add a title card, that's really easy, and any application should be able to handle it. (On Windows, take a look at Clipchamp.)
If you want to do colour grading, or greenscreen effects, or add text/graphics on the screen (similar to the current score in a football match), that's where you need to look at the features of the different applications.
Love you, too
