Or you can use Joyoshare Media Cutter to edit H.265 files. It is very easy to use for beginners. With Joyoshare, you can trim, rotate, and crop videos.  Also, you can add subtitles and background music to videos. You can customize the resolution and hue, add video and audio effects, etc.

Final Cut pro X and Adobe Premiere should be used on a computer with high configration. When running either of them, my computer is always stuck in some windows. So I look for another software - Joyoshare Media Cutter to replace them. This software won't be slow even launching on Windows 7.

I think ffmpeg is really complicated to use, which needs some commands. As for VLC, it is totally free, but it is not suitable for begginners. Based on my experience, Joyshare Media Cutter works well. You say you want to find freeware. That Joyoshare is nice. It provides 5 free opportunities to trim 4k videos without recoding. If you don't use frequently, it is equal to a free one. Try it!
