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!

Kdenlive can auto-sync audio tracks.

You can set one audio track as a source and have a second similar one auto-align with it. Right-click the audio track in Kdenlive's timeline and you'll see these options.

The way I use it is:

Record video on a phone
At the same time, record superior audio on a microphone
In Kdenlive, load both project files and align the mic's audio track to the phone's inferior audio (which you first designate as the source)
Delete the phone audio and splice the remaining material

It's been incredibly helpful for me to the point of donating to the dev team.
