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!
For your use case, I’d go with Lossless Cut as opposed Shotcut, Openshot, etc.
The reason being that it is much simpler and faster to use, and generally results in smaller filesizes because you aren’t having to re-encode and export the project from scratch.
Nice. I should get that. I barely edit videos, but it’s almost always just simple cutting. Not kidding quality and increasing file size to reencoding would be great.
Faster does appeal, I’ll give it a look, thanks!
