I would like a FREE video editing and special effects software. I have tried Windows Movie Maker 2011
and need something a little more advanced. I would prefer no free trails.



Answer
Free special effects means Jahshaka: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jahshakafx/

What is a good video editing software to use?

I have a PC windows XP and really want a good software that i can edit video's in, as my windows movie maker doesn't work and doesn't do half the things i want to do. Also i don't want to pay anything for it. As a lot of them are quite overpriced.


Answer
100% free: Video Spin, Jump Cut, JahShaka, ZS4 Video Editor, Zwei-stein, and WAX.

I can't speak the quality of any of these as I haven't used them. I just know of them and that they are free. I did see Video Spin rated the best free option by PC Mag at one point though.

Affordable: Pinnacle Studio, Sony Vegas Movie Studio, Corel Ulead Video Studio, AVS Video Editor, Adobe Premiere Elements.

All of these are pay applications. All of them have free trial downloads. So you can test out the software first and see if its worth paying for or not.

I think Sony and AVS are likely the easier ones to learn. Though none are that bad frankly. Adobe is likely the most robust feature set of the lot, but it is also the most expensive. Both Sony and Adobe have good online communities (so online support for you).

The other person is wrong though in saying that major players use Sony, that's untrue. The major editing software out there is Avid Media Composer/Film Composer and Final Cut Pro. That's what Hollywood editors use. Adobe Premiere Pro is gaining steam, and is a capable professional tool, but its a bit behind the curve in market penetration.

Sony Vegas Pro is popular in the wedding video/corporate video crowd. But its not used by big time players in Hollywood. Maybe a few indie houses here and there at best.
