I've been in the film/video business since the mid '80s when we were still
literally shooting cutting dual system film then editing mixing the picture
and sound using mixing stages. Did my first digital sound edit/mix while I
was working for the Navy in DC and put my first non-linear editing setup
together in around '97. I shudder a bit to think what I spent on that rig!
These days I do most of my heavy video editing in DeVinci Resolve which is
WAY overkill for what it sounds like you want to do. For your situation I
really like Topaz Labs Video Enhance AI a lot, if your computer has the
power to run it. Right now it's on sale for $160. Not only can you do cuts
editing, you can also use the AI (artificial intelligence) features to
clean up and enhance the video quality. And It's easy to trim clips to the
individual frame level. Topaz Labs has a bunch of excellent. I run a mix of
Macs and DIY PC, doing most of the Topaz Labs stuff on a fairly new Ryzen 7
build with an older nVidia (soon to be replaced) graphics card because
Topaz optimized the app for nVidia GPUs.
You can D/L free trial versions of any of TLs apps.
