Question Free video editing software ?

[MJS WARLORD]

I have a wildlife video camera that i leave out overnight to film foxes and badgers that visit my garden.
The videos are in 30 second segments and sometimes i get a segment that has been triggered but only has something visible on the last 5 seconds.
All i want to do is cut the empty section off the clips.
Maybe I already have something as part of Windows that I don't know about ?

Not really my forte but you could always try any of these:

The best free video editing apps​

• DaVinci Resolve for the most powerful free video editor
• CapCut for a free easy-to-use video editor with added depth
• Adobe Premiere Rush for the best free video editing software for quick edits
• Clipchamp for the best free web-based video editor
• iMovie for the best free, simple video editor for Mac users
• Kdenlive for a free, open-source, and cross-platform video editor

Avidemux - Main Page

Avidemux is the simplest to use, it's very small as well.
tips:
If you only cut on i-frames you don't need to re encode the video.
Avidemux shows you what type of frame you are on at the very bottom next to the time.
The double arrows skip to the next i-frame of the video.

Clipchamp is Microsoft's editor so less chance of malware etc

I slap myself in the face ..... the solution was staring straight at me.
The video section was set to 30 seconds per clip i dropped it to 15 seconds and as long as something is still in front of the camera it will set going again for more 15 seconds bits.
