What's a good guide to go from zero to able to make a compilation video? (hexbear.net)

What I have:

All the videos downloaded in highest available quality

im good at pirating shit, so price isn’t a factor

What I don’t have:

The software

The skill to use it

The knowledge of what software to use and where to find guides on it.

There’s a few people who’ve created content, and a lot of it’s quite good (RIP Eugene dabs) so I was hoping I wasn’t the only person who started with zero background and wanted to make videos.

If it can handle audio as well that’s a bonus but not relevant to my immediate ideas for “first projects”.

Thank you in advance to anyone kind enough to offer advice

While Davinci Resolve has already been suggested, it does have limitations and is proprietary software. For free/open source alternatives, consider (listed alphabetically):

All of these have a basic "throw your clips into a bin and drag them into the timeline" workflow to get started with.

Does it allow the editing to make the clips out of the full video?

You mean cutting and trimming? Yes, they all support that.
