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.

What is a free editing program for windows?
Justin
I am currently running Windows 7.
I have 3 different movie clips that I need to play at the same time on the same screen. I have Windows Movie Maker, which has proven to be a headache. Does anyone know of another windows movie editing program that I can accomplish this task?
Thanks!
Answer
You need 4 video tracks and the only free program for PCs I know of with that many is ZS4. It's an old program and reviews say it works on Windows 7. It's also known to be complicated and confusing - especially for those with no experience working with intermediate and advanced editing software.

Lightworks also has multiple tracks but, since it went commercial, I find it confusing. There's still a free version but I only know what I've read about it.

The free version is found using the "Download" link at the top, right.
If you plan to do more intermediate video editing, start saving your pennies for a commercial program. Free programs aren't going to do what you need to do.
