Back in my teenage years I remember making music videos to my favorite songs in WMM. It didn’t require any previous knowledge about cutting or other video editing tools. It was just simple and intuitive.
Is there an equivalent for Linux that’s as easy as intuitive as WMM was? Something I could put in front of someone without previous knowlegde in editing and they could still wrap their heads around in just a few minutes?
(And please don’t say Kdenlive. Have you ever tried to add a simple effect like blur to a part of a video? It’s super cumbersome.)


You may want to look into Avidemux as it’s trying to be a simple video editor. But it may too basic and I’m not certain, if it will be intuitive to you.
I only used Window Movie Maker in the 2010s, maybe it used to be better before. But in my experience it was much more cumbersome. I think it was intuitive in the sense that it mostly worked like Microsoft (Office) software, but other than that it still did require some learning effort.
A lot of people sleep on avidemux, but if all you need is cutting and appending this program could save you a ton of time (and maintain the original quality) since it doesn’t need to render or encode
But OP did mention a blur effect
Ahhh right. Seems like you can only apply the blur filter to the entire video.
