be all end all video editor - for a novice

[the WebWalker]

I’m using a flip. I’ve taken a short story that has four videos. I’ve run into my first production problem.

I want to:
take each of the mp4s and cut out superfluous material (adding transitions a big bonus)
join the 4 edited sections
maybe add transitions/slides between (and between above edits?)
and preserve the original format.

I tried Adobe Premiere Elements & Wondershare Vivideo. I was trying to get by the first step which is to cut out the silly bits. They seemed to want me to cut using the split method!

Video Dub does the precise thing I require, minus frills. Is this capabiltity incorporated into any of the ‘suite’ video editors?

I’m trying out the trials and am happy to buy the right product. And if it’s for free so much the better.

thanks baldrick
I'm trying it out now but can't figure out how to cut out a middle section of an event.
Do you have to take it out with splits and deletes?
Appreciate the help
