Trims, crops, deinterlaces and titles your videos on the exact frame, then saves them as new files.
SiggySoft Video Editor makes new videos from tape transfers, camcorder clips and phone videos, and never changes the originals. It keeps only the parts you mark, each cut on the exact frame you chose. It also turns the half-pictures of tape video into whole frames, crops away black bars, stands sideways phone videos upright, and adds titles on cards or over the picture. Find the scenes splits a tape transfer at every camera stop and leaves out black, blue screens and snow. The result is saved as MP4 (H.264, HEVC or AV1), MOV (ProRes), lossless MKV (FFV1) or the original's own format.
Mark each part to keep with Trim start and Trim end on a timeline of small pictures and sound waveforms. Every cut lands on the frame you marked, and DV pieces can be copied without re-encoding.
Find the scenes measures every frame, starts a new piece at each camera stop, and leaves out black, blue screens and snow. Save the scenes then writes each scene to a folder as its own file: name - scene 01.mp4, name - scene 02.mp4.
Interlaced tape and camcorder video becomes whole frames, 59.94 a second from NTSC or 50 from PAL, so movement shows no comb lines. Find the black bars crops a 4:3 picture out of a 16:9 frame with one button.
Put a title card between pieces, or text over the picture in any font installed in Windows. Each piece can have its own brightness, contrast, colour, noise reduction, fades and volume, kept as presets for other videos.

The installed editor checks www.middlesiggy.com for a new version at every start (Settings > Updates turns this off) and reads Microsoft's 7 KB list of .NET releases at most once a day, sending nothing about the PC. FFmpeg and the optional deinterlacer download only after you agree in the setup check. A Feedback report leaves the PC only when you press Send; the editor sends no usage counts and no crash reports.
