Video Editing Software...?




Rainn


I know it's a real long-shot, but are there any good video editing softwares (i mean better than, say, windows movie maker for example), that you can download for free, that don't give your computer viruses? and please don't say anything that's only available for a Mac, because I have a windows PC


Answer
There's several of them.

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. Windows Live Movie Maker is still good, but not so versatile.

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.

How to Choose Video Editing Software?

Answer
Video File Import and Export
The ability to import and export various video formats is the most important factor in the considering list. It should support all the popular video formats and minor updates should be accessed when there is a new format.

Versatility
Examine the versatility of the software by assessing the range of functions itâs able to perform. One of the ways is to look at the amount of options in each area. For example, even the most basic software has special effects you can add to your footage, but some software has far more special effects to choose from. Taking this further some software allows you to download even more, or create your own.

How finely the software can make adjustments is also an important factor. The most basic software allows you to adjust sound volume up and down, but more advanced software offers a broader range of fine adjustments.

Ease of use
I place particular importance on rating how easy each software package is to use. Some software is fantastically feature-rich, but a possible downside of all this power is that the software can be harder to get to grips with.

Based on the consideration of the above factors, I carefully pay particular notice of the experiences on testing several of video-editing software and find a nice cheap one â VideoFlick.
