Can anyone recommend a video editing program for use with Windows Seven, free or reasonably priced. . I just need something basic. I am running Windows 7 (32 bit). I did have a Microsoft program some time ago, but seem to have lost it and can't find it anywhere on the Net.
Thanks in advance.

    Quite a few out there.
    I like AVS4you, very powerful lots of file compatibility, easy to use comes as a free version of part of a whole suite of apps as a one off cost and updated 'forever'.

    Lightworks (by Redshark) is almost certainly the best you'll get for free, though not simple to use. Lightworks paid for is used by professional movie makers, non-pro is limited to 720p MP4 videos.

    Your link (deactivated in my quote) is a direct link to the download of the wlsetup-all.exe file.
    I clicked it twice thinking it wasn't working, before noticing that Chrome was now busily downloading 2 copies of the dratted file.

    You should at least have given a warning that it was a direct download link.

    Many thanks. I've been looking that everywhere since support stopped from Microsoft.

    Had to do a little bit of messing around to get it to work though as the system thought it was already installed. Not an unusual problem, it seems.

    I used to use Openshot (linux) version, as this was much ligher than Windows Movie maker with my old computer.

    Windows version is now available, I downloaded and installed it to my Windows 7, and seem much better than previous version.

    This is a free open-source software. You may want to try it.

    Try Lightworks (https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_lwks&view=download&Itemid=206&tab=0)
    it is the best freeware video editor out there (and then some...) - on the downside, it will take a considerable time to learm how to use it - but it matches any paid for software...
    The PRO version costs money - but I have never worked out the difference !!

    I use ShotCut as it is free and can handle fullHD/4K without issues.

    Plenty of free tutorials as well.
