We used iMovie as we did not have much editing experience, and it was an easy go-to default on our school's iMacs. Compared to the audio, the visual editing was actually very easy.
The top left section of the program contained all out footage. We had to sift through it to find good lines of dialogue that we could link together from each other the interviews, creating sections on specific topics. We simply cut them appropriately and put them down in the "timeline", then edited their lengths to transition smoothly as well as synced up the audio.
We also layered footage over one another to include the audio of one while showing the footage of the other. We also added in minor effects, chiefly text to identify who was speaking when they were first shown.
The only other effect used was the transitions, either fade to black or fade to white. Most clips simply cut from one to the other without transition, as it would have become distracting otherwise.
