I'm looking for the simplest, easiest free video editing software for a newbie, i.e., for me. I only need to trim the beginning and end of videos, cut out stuff in the middle, cut or boost the audio here and there, join clips together and insert the occasional photo. I've never edited any videos before and don't have a clue about file types. I don't care about uploading to YouTube at this point, it's just for me to send videos to family and friends.
I'm running Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop. My videos are recorded by an SJCam SJ4000 or my Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. Photos will be from either of those or my Canon point-and-shoot. I already have Windows Live Movie Maker on my machine. Some other free programs I've heard of are:
Avidemux
Avisynth
Blender
Lightworks free version
Natron
Registrator Viewer
Shotcut
VideoLAN Movie Creator
Videopad
VirtualDub
VirtualDubMod
VSDC Free Video Editor
I've only HEARD of these programs. When I read reviews or check forums about these the opinions are all over the place: Witness the back-and-forth just in this forum! Therefore I haven't downloaded any of them yet. I can't emphasize enough how little I know about cameras and videos. A simple program for a simple mind and empty wallet are all I need for now.
