[Shop-talk] Video editing help

I know this isn't 100% shop talk related, but stick with me.

I am an instructor in the Army and I often have to use clips from movies 
and other video training aids.

Problem is, many of these 2 or 3 minute clips are embedding in 1 or 2 hour 
videos.  Meaning I spend lots of time finding the actually beginning of a 
clip and such.

Also, now that we are doing more virtual training, I would love to be able 
to send out the videos so students can watch them locally, but I can't 
send 1 gig files.

I am looking for a video editor that can 'crop' videos files.  These are 
often compressed files (.mp4) so I understand that I may have to have some 
'extra' footage that the beginning, and that is fine.

But what I see is often I have to wait for the entire play length to save 
the cropped file. 

Is there an editor out that that can quickly and easily crop video files? 
Bonus if it's free.

Thanks!
