free video editing software?

Robin

I want to see if I like editing videos before I go out and buy expensive software...So do you know of any? And any that may be able to use a green screen?

Answer
FileLab is a freeware video editing program for just about all platforms (Mac, PC, etc...). 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.

As for green screen "chroma key", the freeware programs that can do it are very aggravating. If you want to try it now, the trial version of Videopad" can do it, but not very well. A low cost program that does it well that I'd recommend is Magix Movie Edit Pro. Last year's version (17 Plus) is still a very good program, and can be purchased on Amazon at a relatively cheap price

Video editing software?

~?Secre

Why does Windows Movie Maker TAKE OVER my computer?
And is there any alternatives to movie maker?

Answer
How about three very good freeware video editor programs, Freemake, FileLab, or VSDC? Each is safe, fully functioning, no watermarks, will not ask for money, and are recent releases that are HD capable.

They are listed in order of increasing capabilities. Freemake provides merging of video clips, and simple editing such as cutting and splicing. It will also automatically upload your video to YouTube if desired. It is also capable of converting your video to just about any video format in existence. FileLab has much more features, such as color correction, title editor, and special effects. VSDC is an advanced editor, capable of effects such as green screen editing. The following link has more info, but make sure to also view other articles on this site, as they outline other capabilities of these three programs.:

Mario

I need an editing software dor my computer its a dell inspiron 8600 no internal upgrades what so ever. I was thinking sony vegas by i doubt it will work with this so what are some good video editing software that will work.

Answer
There have been two very good freeware editors recently released this year, FileLab and VSDC. Both should work with XP SP3 and your Inspiron.

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's also available as a free app on Facebook. It has many transition and video effects, very good title editor, and customized color correction to include brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and gamma. Both of these FileLab YouTube tutorials were made with FileLab

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. And here are two tutorials on using VSDC

What is the best video editing software?

JKL

I am currently searching to buy a video editing software and wanted to know what the best one to buy was.

Answer
Asd someone pointed out, it would help to know your budget and OS. "Best" is a subjective term. It's like asking what the best car is. There is no consensus answer and you will find fanboys of many products swearing what they like is best. Part of what determines what is best for YOU is what exactly you would be using it for. If you are going to post clips of you playing with your dog on Youtube, investing in Avid Media Composer with a Da Vinci Resolve for Color Correction software and hardware controllers would be downright silly. On thre other hand, if you have a 100 million dollar budget and plan on making the next 3d blockbuster, steering you towards iMovie would be just as ridiculous. Since you did not specify OS, I'm going to suggest you start by downloading a trial of something cross-platform:

http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere-elements.html

http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html

Similar programs but the latter is hundreds of dollars more and has more features. Since you may never use these extra features, the former may suit your needs.


There are many other options and I am no way claiming these are the best. For your platform, I would suggest downloading trial versions of other programs as well. Final Cut and Imovie are popular Mac only options and Sony Vegas Studio and Pro are popular Windows options.

If budget is an issue, several of the best editors in the business swear by lightworks (Movies like Hugo, the Departed and the Kings Speech were edited with lightworks) and it is available free:
