video editing software 2013 image

Krash

I want a free video editing software, which has various options like adding a song and pictures in between, fasten the video, reverse and other options like that.

Answer
The best stuff is paid.
There are some free choices, though.
I don't like to make recommendations, since what suits me personally may be too complicated to learn for novices.
You might like to start by looking at Windows Live Movie Maker. That most excellent and easy to use app may not have quite everything you want, though.

It would be wrong of me to say that the very best (pirated) software for this purpose can be obtained from various torrent sites - so I won't!

Can Windows 8 run Windows 7 software programs or just apps from the Windows Store?

I'm thinking about upgrading to Windows 8 from 7, but I'm wondering if my video editing software, graphics programs, iTunes, and all that other stuff will be able to run in Windows 8. Also, does a preview/beta version of Office 2013 come with Windows 8, or a full version?

What is the best video editing software to use?

video editing software youtube image

Jasmine

I do beauty videos on youtube and I need to know the best free video editing software that I can use. Something that is easy, but will make my videos look great (: Something that allows inserting images, subtitles, music, and allows me to delete unneeded clips. Please help??

(I've already tried windows movie maker and video pad editor)

Answer
I think FileLab would be best based on your description. Music and images can be inserted as overlays . You can resize the images and move them by right clicking on them in the timeline and selecting "Edit Overlay". FileLab has great title editor for your subtitles. And as FileLab is an editor program, you can easily delete unneeded clips. FileLab is presented as the second tutorial video in the following article:
http://ezvideoedit.blogspot.com/2012/10/joining-merging-splitting-cutting-and.html

and here are a few more tutorial videos on using FileLab. The first one shows you how to use the overlay function for your added images, music, or even overlayed video as shown:

What is a good camera & a good video editing software?

Charon

I want to make some youtube videos, and I want to buy a good camera & a good video editing software.
Do you guys have any suggestions about cameras & video editing programs that work well with youtube?

THANK YOUUUUU!

Answer
You can make great videos with a webcam, as long as the content is great. If you want really good quality videos, then go with a HD camcorder of some kind, such as the Sony Handy HDR range. Although direct saving and upload won't appear in HD, using your video editing software you can trick YouTube into thinking your video is in HD which gives your videos a more professional look.

The best editing software to use are not free. If you want to pay for something and get good value for your money, go with Sony Vegas (9.0). It's by far one of the best and really easy to use. You CAN get away with using Windows Movie Maker, but it really won't give you the best edge for your videos.

Also, turn to your source. YouTube itself has some great videos for advice for making great YouTube videos.

What is a good free video editing software?

video editing software free image

digitalmil

I'm looking for a free video editing software that is somewhat helpful. Something more helpful than windows movie maker at least. I'm being general here but im not looking for much. It has to be a legal free download and i do not want a trial version.

Answer
There are not many video editing software that work well for free. "they are very limited" I know you don't want a trial version but if you need one for just a little bit adobe premier pro cs6 gives a 30 day trial and you can do anything the full one does. Its a really powerful program but takes a bit of learning.

What is a good free video editing software to make time-lapse videos?

~~

What is a free video editing software that is capable of speeding up a video, like a time lapse video. (Besides Windows Movie Maker)

Thank you!

Answer
Any will do.

If MovieMaker is not enough, speed the video as much as you can in MovieMaker. Export to a high quality video file. Import this to a new project. Speed it up. Do that as many times as you need to get the video to the speed you want.

Sony Vegas may allow a little easier time by allowing more "speed-up" in a single pass.

Is 48 Pipelines enough in a graphics card to edit HD video in Premier?

cheap laptop for video editing image

Tim Green

I'm looking at getting a new laptop for video editing. I'm looking at two different computers - the main difference - the graphics card. The cheaper one has a NVIDIA GeForce 330M (with 48 pipelines) and the more expensive one has a GeForce 250M, which has 96 pipelines. Will the first option have a good enough graphics card for video editing in high definition?

Answer
When you encounter such problem, you are advised to try this tool: hd converter.
It supports large range HD video and general video formats and all popular players.

How can I make a good quality video recording and professionally edit it plus make the audio clear?

eguru

I've been dreaming to make some short videos (advertisement type, like some people on youtube make), however I only have a camera, laptop and a cheap mike. Are there any free video editing softwares or something as simple as photo story 3 but for creating/editing videos (and audios)?

Answer
Keep the dream alive! Making videos is great fun. I'm not sure what type of video camera you have, but I do know that you will need a good laptop if you are planning on doing any serious video editing. Some laptops come bundled with a built in camera and mic and even software which will allow you to easily capture some video and export it ready for uploading to YouTube etc. Cyberlink YouCam is an example of software which sometimes comes bundled with laptops.

Else, if you're using Windows (Me, XP, and Vista) you may have Windows Movie Maker available. Development of Windows Movie Maker was abandoned after the release of Windows Vista; its replacement, Windows Live Movie Maker, is included with Windows Live Essentials, a free download from Windows Live. Google is your friend :))

Good luck!

What video editing software should I use to edit videos on a hard drive JVC camera?

video editing software jvc everio image

Jess

It's a JVC GZ-MG27U. It came with Power Director but there isn't much that I can do with that. Any suggestions?

Answer
Here's an informative discussion thread on working with videos from the JVC Everio HDD camcorders:
http://www.camcorderinfo.com/bbs/t124055.html

What do film editors use to make their videos smooth?

Q. Whenever i take a home video with my new 60 GB JVC Everio the video has that signature homevideo feel, real sharp and stuff. How is the best way to smooth it out? like free software, just need a name that'll b great thanx.

Answer
What do you mean by "smooth"?

If you shoot your video using a storyboard and use shot blocking with good documentation, your cuts should be just a function of your editing ability

Expecting a free video editing program to provide you with the tool you need to compliment your fine JVC Everio, is going to be problematic. You have a camera that from my research costs over $1000 and then want to use "free" software to produce videos ... there is something wrong with this picture. You should at least buy Adobe Premiere Elements (under $140)

There are three sides to the video and still triangle. 1) Equipment 2) Software 3) skills using 1 and 2.

video editing software for Canon XL2 video camera?

runningman

I am looking at buying a canon XL2 video camera, what video editing software do you recomend to use with this computer. I would like to edit the software on my PC with windows xp

Answer
Since the XL2 does standard definition DV, any video editor should be just fine - it depends how sophisticated you want to get. So... MovieMaker is bundled with Windows XP (SP2). If you want more sophisticated video editing capabilities, Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere always float to the top.

Your bigger issue is getting the video into your computer. ALL miniDV tape based camcorders transfer video the same way. Your computer needs a firewire port. If it does not have one, hopefully it has an expansion slot so you can add one. You also need a firewire cable.

Firewire400, IEEE1394a, DV and i.LINK are all the same thing. USB won't work. USB-firewire adapter/converters won't work, either.

Connect the firewire cable to the DV port of the camcorder and the firewire port of the computer. Camcorder needs to be in "Play" or "VCR" mode. MovieMaker will capture the video.

Get the XL2's instruction manual at canon.com

Question about which video editing software to use?

video editing software 64 bit image

Harley

Im looking for a good, free, and easy to use video editing software that i can use to remix videos somewhat. Im planning on taking parts of MLP FIM episodes and adding them together into one video for my friend for his birthday

Answer
Take a look at the tutorials for Windows Movie Maker at http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/Tutorials/ - it may be WMM is all you need. It really is foolproof except that it's picky in what file formats it takes and the lack of native support for multiple video and audio tracks are a definite disadvantage (but there are workarounds).

The version 2 series were probably the most versatile, you can find them here - http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/windows-movie-maker.html - but you'll have problems installing the older versions on Windows 7.

Other free video editors are...

Wax - http://www.debugmode.com/wax/ - this is also a compositor - a bit like Adobe's After Effects - - unlimited video and audio tracks
VideoLAN Movie Creator - http://videolan.org/vlmc/ - up to 64 audio and video tracks
TrakAxPC - www.trakax.com/software/pc/
VideoSpin - http://videospin.com/ - just 1 video track so you may as well use WMM
VideoPad - the free version - http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/
Lightworks - http://www.lightworksbeta.com/ - I like this one - unlimited tracks ?
Serif MoviePlus - http://serif.com/free-video-editing-software/ - unlimited tracks ?
Ezvid - ezvid.com/ - 32 video and audio tracks

Another is Zwei-Stein. This is a good editor but I found the interface to be absolutely horrible.

VirtualDub, RAD Video tools, AVITricks and Avidemux are also good tools you should look at. Although not full editors like the others they have some useful features.

Lightworks and Wax together are a very good video editing system for free.

All are safe, at least from the sites I've linked to.

If you want to spend some money then there are reviews of 14 video editors under $100 at http://video-editing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

More costly are video editors like Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere. Both of which are very good. Premiere is probably more advanced but harder to learn everything it can do.

What is a fairly priced but good video editing computer?

Matt G

Me and my dad want to start making videos for his work. These are kind of get-it-done type of video's. I was kinda looking for a computer in the 400-800 dollar range, preferable dual-core and good RAM.

Any suggestions? Oh and a video editing software. I'm kinda leaning towards Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
I'm planning on going into video production as a career, and I'm sure you guys out there can help me with some stuff.

Answer
re cpu, quad may be better:
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/desktop-cpu-charts-q3-2008/Premiere-Pro-CS3-HDTV,833.html

also, consider a 64-bit os and 4-8gb ram. (32-bit os will only use 4)

Large hard drive probably a good idea. If you store a lot of clips on the machine you will need a lot of space.

Full-size board and case, in case you want to add capture cards, etc to it.

Single pci-e slot

I can see you are a limited budget - a workstation gpu is ideal, but they're pricey. firegl or quadro = perfect card for video editing.

If not workstation card, a video card with dual monitor support is a good idea. Also one with plenty of vram (512meg or more). 8800gt is pretty good value atm @$110

If you are not wanting to spend too much money, getting a machine custom built, or making it yourself are the best options to get bang for your buck.

Alternatively, sites like http://www.ibuypower.com will do it for you....

How is the Nintendo 3ds XL?

recommended laptops for video editing 2011 image

ilovemyfat

I kind of want to get the bundle online from Walmart, but I'm not too sure how it is? If you own the 3ds XL, how do you like it? Pros and cons? Would you recommend it?

Answer
I really like the 3DS XL. I'm not sure what you want pros and cons compared to. I have a list of things I like compared to the regular 3DS:

-Larger screens, obviously.

-It has a matte finish, which means you really don't see fingerprint marks on the outside.

-The stylus is located on the right side instead of from the behind like it was on the 3DS. Seems annoying to have to reach to the back to get the stylus out rather than from the side.

-Better look, IMO. I mean, I look at a picture like this of the 3DS: http://dvice.com/assets_c/2011/02/3DS-la⦠and it just doesn't look that great. I think the 3DS XL looks much nicer.

-The screen snaps into place at 2 different angles. So when you're opening it, you'll hear a click at one angle (about the angle you'd open up a laptop at), and then again at a larger angle (like a standard gaming angle).

-Less glare (going more by word with this one, as I never really used the 3DS).

-Better 3D. I went to the store one day a few weeks to see what the 3DS looked like and what the 3D looked like, and it took me like 15-30 seconds to angle myself with the display one to see the 3D effect. It really isn't hard to see the 3D on the XL.

-Better device colors. Having seen the display 3DSes at stores, I really wasn't that impressed with the colors. They're alright, but nothing special. I also wasn't that impressed looking at the pictures of the 3DS XL colors on Nintendo's website. But when I pulled out my blue 3DS XL, the color looked amazing. I was and am REALLY happy with the color and wouldn't change a thing about it if I could. So try not to judge the color by the pictures they have, because they're a far cry from how great the colors actually are in person. I also checked on youtube, and you still can't see how good the colors are in videos, you just have to see it in person.

-Better battery life.

-There are probably some other things I'm forgetting.


Plus you can play regular DS games AND 3DS games, whereas anything besides the 3DS and 3DS XL will only play regular DS games.

The portability and pixelation were 2 things I was worried about before purchasing. Portability hasn't been a problem at all like I thought it would - it fits in all my pockets fine. And the pixelation is hardly noticeable. Unless you're actively looking for it, you won't notice it.

I definitely don't regret my purchase at all, so I obviously recommend it. If you want to know anything else about it, just say so and I'll try to edit this :)

Please: I need a Laptop for Graphic design... I know is Mac, but I really need PC, laptop please.?

mrs.coconu

I study Photography, and I need to work on Photoshop, ILLustrator, In Design, Flash.... and next: Premiere Pro... I just have: U$ 1,000... I need help to choose a good laptop. Thanks

Answer
First off, I currently have a sony vaio, they are horrible, they last long but after a while, their fans always go bad and become noisy and break, causing overheating.

I also have a 2011 MacBook Pro 1200$ model. It has all the RAM I need plus a good enough size hard drive. But I keep everything on an external hard drive anyway to save space and have everything backed up. It runs smoothly, longggg lasting battery etc. Just don't buy the white regular MacBook, that won't work for what you need it for.

Contrary to what the person above me said, you don't need a solid stated drive. You'll be fine with a 5400-7400 rpm hard drive. SSDs are really expensive. You say you are a student and I know you have a tight budget but if you use Apple's student discount, they take money off their laptops. So you'll be able to get one for 1100$.

But if you get a sony at a good price, fine, mine has lasted 6 years but 3 of those have been a with a loud fan, so get an extended warranty if you can. My next suggestion would be the HP's. Other than that there isn't any other manufacturer I would recommend for Design and video editing. If you're going to use Premeire Pro, try the older Final Cut Pros first, they're a lot cheaper even with the Adobe Education discount.

Is there a free movie editing program for Mac that ISN'T iMovie?

video editing software gpl image

yuna_81818

I'm playing around with GarageBand and making small songs just for fun and I'd like to put them into something of a slideshow to upload on YouTube.. but iMovie takes up too much space on my Macbook, so I can't use that. Is there another movie editing program that I could use to put these songs with pictures into a movie format?

Answer
1. Avidemux- http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/index.html

Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks. It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and scripting capabilities. Avidemux is available for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows under the GNU GPL license.

2. ZS4 Video Editor - http://www.zs4.net/

The new incarnation of Zwei-Stein Video Editor, it is advanced video editing and compositing software with over 150 built-in video effects. ZS4 runs on Windows, Linux and OS X, and is free to download and use. Best of all, itâs under continual development and hasnât been abandoned like some of the programs listed here.

3. HyperEngine-AV - http://sourceforge.net/projects/hyperengine/

Arboretum Systemsâ award winning video editing software became free in 2006 and is can be downloaded complete with full source code. Users can capture, arrange, edit and process video, audio and text in a free-form, trackless document, to create movies and slide shows.

4. Simple Video Splicer - http://www.chipersoft.com/

SVS is a basic video editing tool for basic cropping and/or piecing together of video files. It supports all formats that Quicktime can import, with the exception of MPEG, which must be demuxed first. It features a picture panning tool (aka, the Ken Burns Effect), and an audio track layout editor. Source code is included in the download. The programmer no longer supports the software, and his site, while making the program available, notes, âPlease do not contact me regarding this software, I have not worked on any of it in years.â

is there a software capable of editing subtitles already on a movie?

Transfatbo

I downloaded a movie and it had Thai subtitles. I wanted to change the Thai subtitles into English ones. Is anything capable of that?

Answer
You might like this program called Subtitle Processor. It will let you edit, repair and translate existing subtitles. Not only does it enable you to edit subtitles by cutting and joining sentences, correcting typos, removing extra spaces, etc but it also helps you synchronize the text and the video image.

http://subtitle-processor.en.softonic.com/

It's also licensed under the GPL which means it's 100% free.

What are the best laptops for college students?

inexpensive laptop for video editing image

Kay

I have an Averatec 3200 right now and I am less than pleased with it. Ineed to replace it soon and I am wondering what are the most practical and inexpensive laptops out there? I need something under $1200 and can handle my daily commute. what are you suggestions?

Answer
HP has a great range of laptops. The thing to look for can be a bit harsh at times, but a few tips may make the purchase easier.

Weight:
Pick a laptop that you will be comfortable carrying. If you have a long commute, i suggest that you stay around the 6 lbs range.

Size:
Just as the weight issue the smaller the lighter. 15.4 is a standard. Though 15's and 14's are becoming more prevalent.

Processor:
A Celeron or Sempron processor is not worth the money. Even if 'it's a really cute one!' If you like AMD go with the AMD Turion, if you perfer Intel, Intel Centrino. There are new levels of the processors out, but look for those names.

Memory:
No less than 512mb is worth the money. I suggest 1gig even if you are just browsing the internet and writting papers. With the new windows operating system coming out (Vista) memory is a good thing to be prepared with.

Storage Space:
This is the HardDrive. You will usually see it in 80gig or 100gig. Unless you do video editing or download a ton of songs to your Zune or other MP3 player, 80gigs will be fine.

DVD Burner vs DVD Rom:
Unless the price just soars when you see the DVD Burner, go for this option. No you may not be wanting to 'Make your own movies' but you will need to back up some data one day (and should do so at least once a month unless you dont use the computer) Also DVD Burners can burn regular cd's as well.

Glossy vs Matte Screen:
This is the last option i can actually think of and should not be over looked. Think of the environment you will be using the laptop in. If you are out doors you may have difficulties looking at a glossy screen.

Just keep in mind how you are using your new investment and the decisions will be obvious. As a place to purchase, I would suggest going to a Best Buy and asking for a 'Limited Edition HP' They are very well priced and are designed extremely well. I hope this helps... Best of Luck!

Brazo

Answer
Start with the free ones:

Microsoft Movie Maker -- already installed on computers that are running Windows XP. If you have Vista or 7, you can use the latest version:
http://explore.live.com/windows-live-movie-maker?os=other

Avid FreeDV -- available for both Windows and Mac operating systems, and includes basic video and audio editing capabilities, as well as up to two streams of real-time effects.

If you're on a high budget, you should get one of these.

Otherwise, get a laptop from Newegg.com. I recommend a SONY VAIO SVT13114GXS Ultrabook.with a SSD+HDD, 4Gb RAM, Windows 7 Proffesional, and Intel core i-5 processor.

Is there a laptop that can play newer games on the highest settings?

Mike

I've saved up $2500 and am looking to purchase a laptop that can handle video editing, video processing, and be able to play newer games, such as Skyrim, on high or near the highest settings, and be able to record it to. I don't mind dishing out the money for it, if such a laptop exits, i just don't want to spend to much money on a laptop and then not have it perform. And I would get a desktop, but I live in an apartment with 4 other siblings, so there's no room. Even if it's not absolutely perfect, Is there a laptop out there that can handle newer games on higher settings?

Answer
Alienware
I have an M17x and I absolutely swear by it.
It was made to be a gaming laptop but because of it's great memory capacity and high speed processor it can do just about anything.
If you go to their site you can look at their newer models and customize the laptops appearance yourself.
Last I checked, their newest model costs about $1,200 and it's worth every penny.

What is a good video editing software for editing game footage?

video editing software video games image

Greg

I was wondering if someone could tell me a good video editing software for making awesome effects and transitions for video game footage, kinda like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh8VfFH78jY

Thanks.

Answer
It's basically 2D animation, in a 3D like environment, which can be done fairly easily in Apple Motion and After effects.
(The intro segments in that video you showed)

You would have a harder time doing it in an regular editing application whether it's Avid, Premiere or Final cut, because of how several elements move in sync in various angles and directions.
So unless you want to spend a lot of time on it in a regular editing prog, you can work with more parameters - like paths for groups of objects - in After Effects, and some in Apple Motion.

I am buying a laptop to do some video editing. I use Adobe After Effects and Sony Vegas Pro at the moment. I was thinking of getting a laptop with 8 gb RAM, core i7 and 500 gb hard drive. For the graphics card, I was thinking Nvidia Geforce 635M or 610M. Can you please give some suggestions for the specs, especially the graphics card. Is this graphics card good enough? Thank you, I really appreciate it. My budget is $850-900. Thanks again
Also, does it matter if the RPM of the hard drive is 5400 or 7200? And the best screen resolution i can find is 1366 by 768, is this good enough? thanks!

Are gaming laptops good for video editing?

Josh

I'm looking into getting a new laptop, mainly for video editing. Would a gaming laptop such as a "Battalion 101 W170ER Gaming Laptop" work? Is it good for JUST gaming, or does that mean it just has high graphics? I'm not looking into any gaming, just high-end video editing.

Answer
Gaming computers usually have very high specs, and they should work great for video editing, but they're also very expensive! If you're not going to be gaming with it, it's probably overkill. Look into getting something with a powerful CPU, and at least 4GB of RAM , but without the unnecessary gingerbread and price of a computer built for gaming.

Video cards are for calculating and drawing 3D graphics. You don't need a mega good one for editing and playing videos - that is handled by the CPU.

What to look for in Video editing software?

LolitaMe

What effects or tools do you need or look for in Video Editing Software for making AMV's?
I like to make AMV's but I feel I'm missing the important things needed or used in making an AMV!!So the question is what video editing software do you use and what is needed or used?only help things!thank you!

Answer
Hi, for editting videos I recommend to buy licensed because are better than the Free. For example I installed Ubuntu Linux and I installed OpenShot from here: http://www.openshotvideo.com/ Open Shot is tottaly Free but hs not powerfull options like Adobe Premiere or Sony Movie Studio. I worked a lot with OpenShot but there are severeral times that the program closes and I lose my hours of work. So I decided to buy Adobe Premiere and Sony Movie Studio, Now I'm happy with both. Here I tell my story with each one:

Adobe Premiere Elements:
First off, I am no Spielberg, Howard, or Scorsese, I just need a good video editor that's more advanced than Windows Movie Maker. My only prior experience involves iMovie which I've used for the past five years as the need arose. I'm not the biggest fan of iMovie, not to mention I don't own a Mac (I was using a public Mac I have access to). I've recently taken on a project which requires me to edit and post video to YouTube, so being able to edit video in the comfort of my home was the driving factor in this purchase, not to mention that I didn't want to purchase another computer and/or switch platforms.

After install, which was very simple, I found PE10 to be intuitive and relatively easy to use though I'm sure if I had come into this without any video editing experience, I would have a different take. It took me about an hour to become comfortable working with it, and I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do. My typical use involves importing AVCHD files, editing the video adding transitions and titles, cutting out some extraneous scenes, adding audio and video fades, and then exporting the video. That's really about all I need at this point, nothing too fancy yet. It's handled what I throw at it easily and flawlessly and renders the 40 minute hd videos I'm creating in about an hour on the machine I'm using.

If I had it to do over, I'd probably take a harder look at Sony Vegas Movie Studio since it seems to have a ton more features (which I don't need yet). It seems to have a steeper learning curve and like I said, my needs are relatively simple right now. Plus I'd rather wait for the next version which will hopefully have 64-bit support.
You can buy Adobe Premiere here:

Sony Creative Software Movie Studio HD Platinum:
Sony Vegas is arguably the best bang for your buck video editing software on the market today. While the learning curve can be a little steep and it has some limitations, overall it's a fantastic package that hits the spot for most amateur video editing endeavors. I've tried a whole bunch of programs and this one seems to be the best value for money - especially once you take the time to learn it properly.

Sony has 4 different versions of the Vegas software suite, ranging from the low end Studio HD to the high end Pro. The HD Platinum version sits somewhere in the middle and offers most of the features that you'd require for a range of different projects. Most users won't require the features offered in the Pro version (though sometimes I wish some of them were available as paid plugins for HD Platinum).

It's got some fantastic features like automatic splitting between video and sound, quick video splitting with the press of a button, lots of effects including the ability to use a 'green screen' effect, easy sound/image fading, text effects, slow motion, credits, drag/drop clips, export to YouTube, layers, etc. It really does have most of the tools that you'll require to create some kick ass movies, quickly and efficiently. It's also got fantastic help and tutorials. Plus there are lots of YouTube tutorials too. Over all, it's a fantastic piece of software for the price which I highly recommend!

What video editing software should I buy?

APOS

I am a college student with an AVCHD video camera. I'm looking for a new to newer editing software that has a great deal of stuff you can do, as I am enthused about the area. I would be using it on a laptop with 4gb of memory and 2.5 processor. My price range is probably $50-$150. If you could give any input that would be great, thanks.

What is the best video editing software that I can download for free?

Lance

My girlfriend is wanting to try her hand at being a Youtube star and has set me on the task of finding her a video editing software. If you can point me in the right direction of finding the best free or extremely cheap program it would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
FileLab is a freeware video editing program for just about all platforms (Mac, PC, etc...). I use it a lot to make YouTube videos. It runs in your browser using a simple plug-in download. It has many transition and video effects, very good title editor, and customized color correction to include brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and gamma. This tutorial on FileLab was made with FileLab
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYbAe-mUscs

VSDC is also freeware, but has much more advanced capabilities than FileLab, such as green screen! It's not as obvious or easy to use as FileLab, but did I already mention it has green screen (chroma key), and it's free? Also, it is capable of editing in most most popular video formats and compression schemes including high definition (HD), AVI, H.264, MP4, MKV, MTS, 3GP, WMV, QT, MP3, MPEG2 FLV, SWF. YouTube. Get it now while it's free because eventually this will go payware.
