depends on what you want to do - here's some i have found over the years, the most promising of which is VLMC, but it hasn't been released yet - you'd have to find out if you could get the current dev version
Lightworks is hugely powerful, but the last time i tried it it didn't work and was quite invasive, installing stuff all over the system
I use Lightworks for all my videos now. Not sure what you mean by "installing stuff all over the system". For me, the program is installed in /usr/share/lightworks and it's libraries in /usr/lib/lightworks which is exactly where it needs to be. Also, exports to mp4 and can even upload directly to youtube. That's all I need it for. Slight learning curve with their keybindings, but very usable.

That's still one program I've been meaning to dive into but the fact I need to sign in to use it in Linux really turns me off. It's the whole feel of "you don't own the software and can only use it if we allow you to".
That and I don't want to waste my time doing an edit then having it basically be worthless wasted hours if u decide I don't like the software when it comes to exporting time. Free version has some silly restrictions.
i was running windowz when i tried it and as i recall, after "uninstalling" it (because it wouldn't start), it left behind a pile of reg entries and files - that was the first release after development resumed i believe - maybe it's gotten better, but ninjai's comment was a real turn-off - you have to sign in to use it on Linux? really?
Hang on, it looks like they released something called the GoPro app for destkop, I'll find the link for studio
Okay, double edit. It looks like the new "GoPro App for Desktop" is 2 parts - an easier to use importer/organizer the "App" as well as the standard editor "Studio".
I installed it to check and the App tried forcing me to sign up for an account. I just closed that and launched GoPro Studio from the Start menu.

Blender got a lot of potential; it has a bit of a steep learning curve though, and some stuff you need to learn how to make yourself instead of relying on pre-made filters and stuff.
Not denying what you've linked, but have used them for years without any malware discovered, or problems noted. On one note though, almost all freeware programs will add tool bars if you let them, but all also allow you to decline and still load the software. It's more a matter of paying attention to what you're accepting, declining during installation.

Blender is not simple but super good. Licence: GPL (free software), no cost.

if you were willing to try Linux, kdenlive is good.

This is what I use. In Windows gopro studio filled my needs. I do edits with footage from a gopro so that's the only reason I know about it

I don't use one, but I've always trusted CNET for freeware downloads ... see link for some ideas. CNET Video Editors (Freeware/Try Free)
