Assistance with video clips

[punkncat]

Apologies up front. Beyond adding a short video to the tube and or social media, I have ZERO experience with editing, or compression of video that would be anything close to modern.

I did a ~67 minute/14GB instructional video today (for our techs) that is broken into four parts. Most of them are ~15 mins and one is 22 mins. I need to stitch the videos together (maybe) and compress them. I need to edit out one curse word with a bleep. I am not against setting up a YouTube account or Google Drive, etc. by way of a specific user as I have a work account I can use tied to that universe. I have never edited a video at all.

Is there a way to (using something I am familiar with as example) select the four videos, hit a "combine" button, and then compress it all in a similar way to Adobe or other program? As mentioned, I also need to bleep one word, if possible.

I appreciate any help in this direction.

I use VideoStudio (Corel) for this.
Reasonably inexpensive, and a nice GUI.

Free alternates would include HitFilm Express or DaVinci Resolve.

Thank you very much. I am going to give DaVinci a try.

They're all about on a par.
Just get used to the interface.

I use the Corel thing because it was cheap, in a bundle with my preferred image editor Paintshop Pro.
But either of the other two are good as well.

Lol, I will never underestimate the power required to edit and compile video. This is putting the back slap to my 2700X.
