Windows Movie Maker used to be good enough, but for a while now it won’t load mp4’s anymore and I can’t be bothered to try and fix it, and I’m really hating the online editors I’ve tried, so it’s time to download some software!

Seriously - nothing complicated, at most I’m snipping clips to size, or cutting something out, so I need an easy to navigate preview and simple cutting tools, I can’t even name any other editing action beyond “mixing” which I don’t even intend to do, so you get my level haha

TIA!

    Always worth mentioning the free version of davinci resolve. It’s feature complete for your described needs, doesn’t hassle with things like watermarks, and the tools are great if you ever need to step up to something a little more robust.

      I do like da Vinci but:

      1. It requires a GPU

      2. It’s way more complicated than I need. I pretty much just want something to cut up a video and maybe add some nice graphics. Bonus if it has a way to align and replace external audio tracks.
