Learning to do the basics such as cutting and pasting scenes is good but for effects, each and every editing software product has their own strengths and weaknesses. Try to learn something new about the software as you get confident with it. Some have transition effects that allow the insertion of other scenes to gaps and some allow you to totally change the type of footage (removing elements from the frames say an ugly flower in the middle of a perfect shot replacing it with something from another shoot or photo libraries).
