Editing a Zoom Video Recording

I need to edit a Zoom Cloud Recording. Could someone provide directions? I know how to trim the beginning and end, but need to edit a few places where I talked over a video.

Zoom's in-platform 'editor' only allows trimming the start and end points for cloud recordings.

 

If you're looking to make edits within the recording, you'll need to download the recording and edit in an NLE (Adobe Premiere, Avid MC, FCP, iMovie, etc) - Zoom does not provide this functionality.

Thanks! Any thoughts regarding the best NLE to use? It is my understanding iMovie is not available for HP Laptops. I read Adobe Premiere is not for a beginner in the editing programs.

For Windows, the following NLEs are frequently recommended for beginners:

 

-CapCut (https://www.capcut.com/tools/video-editor-download)

-Microsoft ClipChamp (https://clipchamp.com/en/)

When you edit a cloud recording with TRIM... is the "trimmed" section the part you want to keep... or the part where you want to delete? I'm not getting the concept????

You can edit your recorded videos using kinemaster on both pc and mobile.
