I've been trying to locate a free- mp4 editor online and they always turn out to be trial version that end abruptly. Would appreciate any suggestions?

Windows Movie Maker can import and export in .mp4, and I personally use Shotcut for my YouTube videos. Shotcut is completely free and extremely useful.

Windows Movie Maker

Avidemux (My recommendation)

imovie (macOS)

VSDC Free Video Editor

 

If you just need a transcoder:

https://www.xmedia-recode.de/   (FREEWARE)

However, it is NOT as idiot-proof, one-clicky, dumped down as people come to expect since smartphones came up.

It needs a bit of getting used to.

Movie Maker is no longer available for download. MS has discontinued.  I have a new computer w/ new  Win '10. Will certainly look at the others. This is just temporary. Used Premiere pretty extensively in the past, so can probably manage (fingers crossed). Might go w/ NCH for cheep media editors but for now these will be great. Thank you.

Oh yeah, sorry, WMM was discontinued at January, didn't know that.

 

However Avidemux stays my recommendation, been around for ages, open source.

http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/

Tutorial:

Another one i found is Shortcut.

https://www.shotcut.org/download/

Availiable for win mac and linux.

seems to be open-source as well.

Cant tell anything about that however.

 

And this one:

https://www.dvdvideosoft.com/free-video-editor.htm

(might install adware, don't know)

 

if non of these are powerful enough, then sorry, anything else seems to get expensive sooner or later.

 

Please report back with your experiences.

Duh, I'm an idiot. I just found a version of Movie Maker to download. Don't know were I got that idea, though technically it has been discontinued. ShortCut was recommended a bit earlier by RussianPrince and I'm working with that right now. Not elegant, but definitely functional. I promise to look at avidemux. Thanks for the recommendatuion.

I used Windows movie maker like crazy with winXP. Microsoft made it something else afterwards and I lost interest in their version.

 

I've been using Avidemux for a while now as a video cropper (chop off part of front or/and back) and a format changer (avi to mp4 etc.).

 

I'm using Ver2.6 which doesn't support RM files though (RealMedia). Not sure if newer versions do (if available).

 

Been looking to get some kind of editor that can splice pieces together which brings my attention to this post. I'm not looking for any type of professional application, since the old movie maker was as much as I wanted. From the information provided above, looks like a good start. Thx

im late but

Devinci resolve is probably the most powerful free editor you can get but its hard to learn

Hitfilm express is easy to use but can't do some of the things devinci resolve can do

i would go for hitfilm if you are new to video editing
