What video editor is super-simple for a non-technical person?

Someone I know needs a super-simple video editor.

All that they want to do is take a really long home-made video (filmed on their phone), extract a few interesting clips, and throw away the rest. It is perfectly OK, even desirable, if the extracted clips are left as separate videos rather than being spliced together.

Every video editor that I've looked at has a whole range of fancy effects. None of that is needed. Just the ability to intuitively extract the interesting clips.

What can you suggest, please?

 

Thanks for the idea. The person doesn't have a YouTube channel, but I'll discuss this. It may be too complicated for her.

It might be better for me to take the video and do it for her, but I wouldn't necessarily know which clips she'd want to keep.

 

Thank you for the suggestion. I've just tried it. It reminds me of Audacity, but it's neither intuitive nor easy. I couldn't get it to play audio, nor could I find a way to clip an item. If I can't figure it out, then my friend won't be able to.

 

Thank you. That's a good article.

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.
