Ok this may be a slightly (ahem) dumb question, but I am
just looking for a very simple video editing program that
will allow me to merely re-sync out of sync video /
audio.

I know that if I have a video clip, and I pull it into
Final Cut Pro, and/or Adobe Premiere I can adjust the
audio track in the time line to sync up.

The problem is, FCP has compatibility issues with certain
file types , and Premiere does as well (occasionally) and
it is a resource hog at times.

All true. At the current juncture of hardware and software technology,
basically you either spend an extraordinary amount of money for performance
hardware, or you end up with lethargic performance particularly at the
beginning and end.

And with either one - exporting out and rendering imported
files takes FOREVER.

Right now the standard seems to be rendering time = run time. Depending on
your investment in technology, you can get rendering time down to a
medium-sized fraction of run time. I'm pretty happy with 1 minute of
rendering time for every 2 minutes of run time. Others may do better or
worse. But, that means 1 hour of rendering for a 2 hour program. Arrrgggh!

I'm just wondering if there is a very "simple" or scaled
down Video Editing Application that will allow me to
import in video files (of all type - MPG, MP4, MOV, AVI
- etc) and sync up audio with video and export out into
various formats.....without needed to be a full blown
professional video editing suite/application

At this juncture, it can't exist, rendering times being what they are.

Most video editing software does no actual editing of video while you are
"editing". All serious work is deferred the rendering step.

The majority of the resource use, and it can be massive, goes into creating
some kind of real-time, scaled-back visual display environment. There could
be 1 editing command or 100, the resource use would be about the same.

That's all I really want.

First, I want world peace.

Then, I want cheap and easy video editing. ;-)

Seriously, I think the cheap and easy video editing is a lot closer than
world peace.
