probably one of the best free video editing programs out there atm is davinci ( https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/ )
for simple editing though I used to use KDEnlive a lot, pretty easy to wrap your head around, allbeit with a few quirks that take some getting used to ( https://kdenlive.org/en/ )
I'm sure theres others but those are the two I've used personally.
DaVinci Resolve. It's good and mostly free, allowing you to export up to HD resolution. Premium features include more transitions, fx, and higher resolutions but the basics are covered free.
I can't vouch for the low learning curve. It's intuitive enough for basic basic stuff but I still find myself going to YouTube tutorials often. However- I'm always a slow learner, so it might be just me.
A thousand times this. I have no idea why this isn't a more popular option. Also it isn't limited to HD - it's limited to 4k.
I had been pondering on switching from Shotcut to DaVinci but exporting being limited to HD is bad news to me
Previous commenter is incorrect - you can export up to 4k with the free version.
Blender. I've used KDEnlive, Openshot, DaVinci, in my honest opinion for simple video editing they all fall short of blender.
Shotcut is quite powerful, fully featured, and absolutely free.
Microsoft's new ClipChamp is more user friendly and the most basic version is free, with some limitations.
ClipChamp has become my go to for quick editing. The primary free version limitation is export resolution (HD).
