Video Editing

Hello all,

I'm trying my first attempt at video editing and not having much luck, could anyone recommend some free idiot proof software.

Thanks,

Pete

Windows movie maker is pretty useless, I have Pinnacle Studio 8, really useless. there is nothing free that is anygood. I finally bought Cyberlink power director 8 delux for £23.50 delivered via Australia from ebay that works

look up serif.co.uk some free software also google picasa [free ] allows you to edit your vids and put on disc.

Depends whether you want linear or nonlinear. If you just want the ability to edit bits out then something simple like virtualdub will work fine. If you want to do NLE then you're probably going to have to spend something. There's Kino for linux that'll do NLE. You'll probably be able to pick up an older version of Vegas or pinnacle something or other for not too much cash.

Try "WAX" video editing.

You can download free trail versions of

VideoStudio Pro X3

and Sony Vegas
http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegassoftware

There are plenty of free tutorials for them both on line.

Movie maker is the best for beginners.

Here's a free one Zwei-Stein http://www.thugsatbay.com/tab/?q=zweistein_download but the best bought editor suite is Sony Movie Studio or Vegas.

I imagine there will be Final Cut Pro users, Avid users and Adobe Premiere users who'd argue that last point of yours.

I'm sure they will, but I've been video editing on and off for about 10 years and tried just about every editing suite there is.
