Are there any free video editing apps for a laptop?

Imani

Hello, I just got a laptop for Christmas and theres an app store but there are no video editing apps. I was wondering if there were any apps for it? and also I have a notebook from acer if that helps....

Answer
How about three very good free 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. FileLab also runs on both PC's and Macs (no-kidding)! 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.:

Does my LLC have to claim a Depreciation deduction on taxes?

best laptop for video editing 2012 image

Russell

I am looking to wrap-up a failed LLC this year, but I am doing taxes for last year. The business was completely on location - shooting video and editing on a laptop on location. There were no expenses, except depreciation expense. It had only $95 of revenue in 2012. As I am working through these IRS forms for claiming depreciation expenses, I am wondering if I HAVE to claim them with the time I'm spending on the taxes and the revenue levels that I had. I'd be willing to pay $95 of taxes just to get this nightmare over with. Arghhh!!!

Answer
You aren't required to claim the depreciation expense, but you are required to reduce your basis by the amount of depreciation you would have been allowed if you had claimed it.

Is a Macbook Air 2012 a decent laptop for uni?

Donovan

I am starting uni next year and i want to save for a laptop. I am fairly set on a macbook of some sort and the Air looks especially appealing. I am taking a multimedia course so i will be doing video editing and production, animation, web design, photoshopping, etc. I have some friends who say it is powerful enough for all that and some others who say either get macbook pro or go for a windows one. Which do you guys think i should get?

Answer
Hello!
Well, the answer is simple.
If you require to do Power Intensive Jobs, the answer is Macbook Pro.
Requirements like video editing, production, animation, etc would be well tackled by Pro than Air.

However, I presume for uni and everyday use, Air being light weight would be easy to carry.
I suggest you buy Macbook Pro.

Why do my videos save as pictures and not as videos on my computer?

best laptop for video editing 2012 image

Curiosity

I have a Jazz HDV189 camera and whenever I make a video on it, it doesn't save as a video when I go to upload it to my computer (a Toshiba laptop). It always saves as a picture, and so when I go to edit it on Windows Movie Maker (and it doesn't work with Windows Live Movie Maker either), it doesn't recognize it as a video file. Is there something that I can change in the settings so that my videos save as video files? Thanks so much in advance!

I also tried putting the memory card directly in the laptop and it still saves as a picture.

Answer
Hi Ms."Curiosity":

First, your Jazz camcorder saves videos (at least the HD ones) in MPEG AVC/H.264 file format (probably with an .MP4 file extension) that most Movie Maker versions don't support (they won't "see" them as videos).

The quickest and cheapest solution is to download Real Network's RealPlayer software which includes the free RealPlayer Converter (and RealPlayer Trimmer), which can directly handle your videos and transcode (convert) them to WMV format, which Windows Movie Maker can edit. (And you can use RealPlayer itself just to view your video files without transcoding.)

Here's the link for Real Network's download page: http://www.real.com/download

There was also a software CD that came with your Jazz camcorder that probably has some simple Media Import & Editing software to help with proper file transfer to your PC. You might dig up that CD and install the software on your computer.

And if your Toshiba is running either Windows Vista, Win7 or Win8, then you either have or can download from Microsoft the latest version of Windows Movie Maker 2012, which can directly handle H.264 (MP4) video files. It's part of the new "Windows Essentials" free download at Microsoft.com.

Hope this helps,

Custom built AlienWare laptop over a MacBook Pro for productivity?

Cesar_17_

So what's best for video editing? AlienWare M14x Custom with 12GB Ram, and a i-7 3rd gen dual cpu at 3.7GHZ with turbo boost 2.0, bluray, etc. or that $1500 macbook pro 13 inch high end 2012? Both will run for around $1800 at the end, bu ti need something decent and good for video editing. It needs to last my last 2 years of high school and my next 3-4 years of college as i plan to major on Video Editing.

Answer
macs are always good for editing due to their os, yet their software isnt always the most up to date, and 13" is a small screen to be editing on. I would go with the alienware, being that it has the 3rd gen cpu which has a gpu enhancer built into it, and plenty of RAM. I would go the alien way simply because with apply you are really paying for the brand and not the components. I currently have a lenovo y580 which has the 3rd gen CPU and 8gb of Ram and it will run literrly anything I throw at it. With Video editing you want to look for the GPU and the CPU. Being that it is alienware you will have both of thoes. I sound bias agains apple but that is just my honest opinion. If you have any other questions be sure to message me.

What is a fantastic permanently free video editor?

best laptop for video editing 2012 image

Kat

I already have Windows Movie Maker and my laptop is a Windows 8. It's good but the editing video lags and the video effects aren't what I'm looking for. I mostly just want one certain video effect, which is where you can show one video full screen and a separate video in a little square in a corner. (Such as PewDiePie, SwiftKarateChop, Smosh, etc.) I've looked and can't find any. Thanks! Any questions, just ask!

Answer
You want to do "split screen" or "picture in picture" video editing. These two free video editors can easily do such. The videos show how:

FileLab
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfNts_O1STA

VSDC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zokUQHkRaDU

with VSDC you can do additional special effects on the inserted video. Here's an example, watch the movement and sizing effects as each clip flies by:
