You can click and drag across multiple tracks to make a selection span multiple tracks.

So essentially, I am looking for a program (easy to use) which i can record the video on the origonal take, and then marry up the video with the mastered audio amd save the video to You Tube

Have you looked in Microsoft Store to see what free video editing apps are available?
