I'm looking for a stupidly simple windows compatible video editor. Something I can splice together short videos into a longer movie, add some text effects, and music. Im not looking to spend adobe after effects kind of money. It's okay if it looks hokey and amateurish, I kind of want that.
@Kurtroedeger Aha — I found it!

Don’t know if you could get away with it, but for $89 a year, it’s pretty handy.
@Kurtroedeger openshot is what I use on Linux and I think they have Windows builds. Some others here too: https://itsfoss.com/open-source-video-editors/
@Kurtroedeger have you looked into davinci resolve? I think they still have a free version you can use.
@MgBarbatos @Kurtroedeger The built-in Photos app, and its precursor Photos Legacy (in the Windows store) both offer a video editor. The video editor in the Photos app is ClipChamp, which is also available as a standalone app from the Windows store.
Two other editors I use are OpenShot and ShotCut.
Even PowerPoint can produce videos.
@peterquirk @Kurtroedeger I dont think Ive heard of openshot and shortcut. Imma check these out too, thanks!

For a fee, you can also look at Movavi. I have not used this.

Windows comes with Clipchamp. Super easy official Microsoft video editor.
@Kurtroedeger dammit… the kids use one in school, and I don’t remember the name of it. Stand by. See what I can do.
