The right way is really easy, the right and powerfull tools for Linux/Ubuntu are here, all in open-source glory, but took me lots of time to find out what works better, was more complicated since i was used to windows software names, so here goes: (Im trying to get it as simple as it can be, all with GUIs, etc.)

OTHER IDEAS, FROM POSTS:
retro89: "I recommend Open Shot Video editor http://www.openshotvideo.com/. It imports and exports many different file types. First you will need to install the dependencies which are on the website then install Open Shot.The files are .deb files which makes installation a breeze. "
