OpenShot is another useful video editor.

Internet friendly media encoder is also helpful.

thanks for the recommendations!

I added openshot and left out IFME (it doesn't seem like the devs understand software licensing unfortunately, the project's also a bit of a copyright landmine😅)

They state it's under gpl2 they do have ffmpeg but the tool doesn't include its own codecs outside of that if I understand it correctly. It does use any codecs provided by the OS though.
