I use imovie for video editing
We have no way to figure out what “easy” is for you.
KdenLive is free, is not “difficult”, and is what I would use.
People say easy because they are tired, they maybe remember the early days when people wrote freeware that performed just one function, very clearly. Now programs can tend to follow the coat hanger and combined harmonica rule and that can be quite tiring.
Ive saved plenty of movie clips with PipePipe on Android. Its very easy to do.
For simple cuts and splices I use LosslessCut. Never used it on a movie but it should work, and it is fairly straight forwards as it only has one main function.
Videos are not 3D files, they don’t need to be sliced.
What tools have you found difficult to use?
I think the main issue is that it takes a lot of RAM to edit videos or everything slows to a halt, but as long as I’ve had enough ram KdenLive & openshot have worked fine IIRC
