I'm not video expert, but I needed to trim a very large video and tried several options. Avidemux was the simplest to use video editor I have used. Other similar programs are very complex. I rated this program with four stars cause I only tried to trim some parts of a large video. What shocked me is that the website looks like the program is discontinued.

FOSS. 38mb is a lot lighter than Davinci's 3gb+. It doesn't do compression per se, but re-encoding using H.264 will do that. You can choose from a range of CRF values.

Absolute amazing! Just cut out a section out of an mp4 file without re-encoding (no loss of quality!) - excellent stuff!
I don't like Avidemux. There are some little annoyances, like very bad, not reconfigurable shortcuts if you're using an non-english keyboard-layout. The preview is not scalable. You have to input the output name if you're saving cutted parts, again and again. It's not very stable (in Windows only?). It's having big trouble with converting mpeg2-streams, but it don't display any hints it's not able to convert it. So you have to wait hours of encoding too see the audio is asynchron, the resolution wrong or other problems. That's all points VirtualDub is much more comfortable! But Avidemux supports a lot of codecs and containers, while VirtualDub is very limited. I hope AviDemux will gain quality in the future, then it would be a really great tool.

Avidemux's stabilizing filter definitely works. GridPlayer is a very good program to compare before and after side-by-side videos. Avidemux is a great program for a novice.
Software not updated since 2022.
I use this product most days. I find it strikingly easy to use and quick. It does all of the principal tasks that I need to perform on mp4 videos.
