Free video editor - just need shorten large clips

    I've tried using Windows 10 Photos and it seems to do what I want but then crashes as it tries to save large video files.

    All I want to do is cut the overrun from a screen video grab and the file I was trying with is a 6GB MP4 that is about 1hr 30 minutes long and when I crop the last 10 minutes off and "Finish project" it goes through the motions and then just closes after about 10 minutes and saves a zero byte file. There may be a 2GB file limit as thats around the size of the temp file before it stops working.

    I know I'm expecting a bit much but is there anything free that will just allow me to crop files that big without adding a watermark? I don't need any other features.

    Edit> Part solved my problem by saving the video as two smaller clips. Not ideal but solves the issue and allows me to clip out stuff I don't want.

    Honestly, there is no free software that comes with quality. Most of them add a watermark. That's why it is better to pick Adobe video editing software.

    bit late for a reply but
    DaVinci Resolve is free and just as good as Adobe software for video editing
