Kdenlive

This is what I use for clips that I need to upload to friends. The Windows Xbox DVR saves the last 3 mins of gameplay, but I only need 15-30s of it.

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.

For your use case, I’d go with LosslessCut 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 from scratch.

Faster does appeal, I'll give it a look, thanks!

Nice. I should get that. I barely edit videos, but it’s almost always just simple cutting. Not losing quality and increasing file size to reencoding would be great.

Avidemux is very basic, if a little unintuitive

I remember having used Shotcut many years ago

Shotcut is amazing I still use it for work on a daily basis.

OpenShot may be the closest equivalent I can think of to WMM. Either that or Kdenlive (which can be pretty complex).

Kdenlive looks entirely too overwhelming for me lol, but openshot looks perfect! Thank you!
