Ive always been partial to Shotcut for proper video editing, but I also use HandBrake for simple tanscoding jobs.
ShotCut is alright but it chokes and dies with a large video with complex cuts. I tried using it to edit trailers, a pre roll intro, and an intermission into a 1080p film for a movie night I host and it would hang indefinitely and crash frequently.
For short and simple projects it's fine, even kind of nice to use.
