Look at it this way, any software they would have supplied for free would have been a trial or crippled version, so you aren't missing much.

But you need a MPEG editor. If you look to 'Tools' <<< you will see 'Video Editors (Basic) and Video Editors (Advanced).

I rarely edit MPEG, but when I do I use MPEG-VCR. It's an inexpensive editor. Free is Cuttermaran. Everyone seems to have their favorites. I'll leave it to others to make more suggestions.

Some of the advanced ones can get very expensive.
