Video Editing Software?

Davina

I have a video of a storm and I want to be able to frame it on a spot in the video where its lighting striking down. Whats a good software that lets me go frame by frame?

Answer
Try Wax (freeware)
Wax is a high performance and flexible video compositing and special effects software. The idea for Wax is to be very general purpose and flexible in video compositing and effects, so that you can compose your dream video sequence with ease everytime.

Wax can create 2D & 3D special effects and can work in two modes - as a standalone application which would appeal for home users/beginners, and as a "plug-in" to video editors/NLEs which would be more useful for professional editors. Currently Wax can work as a plug-in with Sony Vegas®, Pure Motion EditStudio and Adobe Premiere® and work for integrating with various other NLEs is in progress.

best free or cheap video editing software?

Jake

i seriously want to get into video editing and filming and acting so i need the best ssoftware for a budget

Answer
It may sound strange but... Blender(3d software) has powerfull features for video editing. U can do hell of a lot things with it, but u need knowledge for that. Even make 3d models in scenes and mix it with movie with effect u wont plus animate effect over frames. I totally recommend it. Its kinda best to have software that is "all in one".

What is the best video editing software for everything???????????

Answer
For everything? Probably After Effects.

This question is kind of a mixed bag.
You see, video editing software comes
in different flavors pending functionality.

Want to add graphics and effects?
After Effects.

Editing video clips?
Premier Pro.

Graphics, effects, editing, AND 3D?
I'm going to get thumbs down for this one,
but BLENDER does all three. And it's FREE!

Video making/editing software?

Blue

One thing that's come to be a passion of mine is making usic. I'd like to make videos where I can have multiple shots going at once. For example, if I were to take a video of me tapping a pencil on a desk, another shaking a salt shaker, and a third dropping a penny, and then taking all of them and putting them together at the same time to make a beat. Do you know of any good, free software out there that will do this? (That doesn't give computer viruses or anything like that). Thank you:)
I have a PC:)

Answer
Here's a list of some of the free ones:

Windows Movie Maker -- WMM is already installed on computers that are running Windows XP and Vista. But if you have Vista or 7, you can use the latest version:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/movie-maker-get-started

You may add 3rd party effects that don't come with the WLMM with this:
http://www.thefxarchive.com/index.php?category=WLMM_2011


VirtualDub -- may lack the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. You can take a captured clip, trim the ends, clean up some of the noise, convert it to the proper frame size, and write out a better one. Remove and replace audio tracks without touching the video. It has extensive video filter set, including blur, sharpen, emboss, smooth, 3x3 convolution, flip, resize rotate, brightness/contrast, levels, deinterlace, and threshold.
http://www.virtualdub.org

Avidemux -- a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks. Trim, add filters and even encode video. You can remove the audio portion of a video file, or remove the video portion and retain the audio part, among others. You can even reformat and resize your videos. It's a great and effective free video editing software for those who havenât obtained much, if any, experience in video editing.
http://avidemux.sourceforge.net

Blender -- a 3D graphics video creation program which hosts a variety of features. These include modeling, animation, rendering, post-production and real-time interactive 3D, as well as game creation.
http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/

Zwei-Stein -- a great free video editing software, but the user interface is very technical. It is full featured, offering many different effects. There are up to 64 effects, which can be chained serially.
http://www.thugsatbay.com/tab/?q=zweistein

Wax -- a high performance and flexible free video editing software program, good for both home users and professionals. It can create 2D & 3D special effects and can work in two modes - as a standalone application which would appeal for home users/beginners, and as a "plug-in" to video editors/NLEs which would be more useful for professional editors.

What is the best video editing software?

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:

Are you familiar with those green compositing stuff that you hear in the movie editing world? This software can do that. Here's a sample of what it can do:

Note that this software is free but comes with a stupid 'Conduit Toolbar' it is trying to promote. It gets installed on your browser. You can easily remove that toolbar by going to Control Panel ⺠Uninstall a Program. select 'Conduit Toolbar' from the list of currently installed programs, and uninstall. Next, if you are using Mozilla Firefox, click the Firefox menu ⺠Add-Ons ⺠Extensions tab. Find and click on Conduit Toolbar and select Remove. Restart your browser afterwards.

Answer

What is a great, free video editing software?

video editing software 3d image

Damion E

I need a video software I can use that is free, yet amazing. Almost like a pro video editing software. Something with good effects, and so on. I already have Windows Live Movie Maker, so I am looking for something better than that, once again, for free. Please help. Thank you. :)

Answer
Here are the best of the free video editing programs i have found, and a short little review about each one that i have compiled:
(as with free software there are usually limits, as far as video editors go, free editors usually have lack for file type support, or limited effects)

-Videopad http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/index.html (video editing, limited to avi/wmv/asf and DVD. Unlimited audio tracks, text/picture overlay layer, add subtitles easily, 3D support. Not many effects/transitions, but able to import virtualdub effects to be used. Easy to use interface)
-Videospin http://videospin.com/Redesign/ (video editing, limited to avi/mpg-1/wmv, 2 extra audio tracks, text/picture overlay layer, title/credits, easy to use interface. No extra effects.)
-Lightworks http://www.lightworksbeta.com/ (video editing, requires matrox VFM codec + quicktime installed, requires 3gb+ of ram. Lots of video effects. Support for all formats. 3D support. Harder to use interface)
-TrakAxPC http://www.trakax.com/software/pc/download/ (video editing, limited to avi/wmv and mp3/wma/wav/oog/flac formats, Lots of effects. Clunky interface)


-Wax http://www.debugmode.com/wax/download.htm (2d/3d video effects, only works with .avi files, harder to use interface)
wax is kind of like a vary limited stripped down version of after effects. But its the only effects comp software that is free so, no choice really.


Video converter, so you can convert videos so they can be used with above software (remember when converting video, you are compressing it, and when you compress it you will lose quality you can not get back. If you leave all the parameters of the video the same as source, the quality loss is usually barely noticeable. Also remember just like audio, you can NOT increase quality.)
-Freemake video converter http://freemake.com (convert to many types of videos, very easy to use)


And lastly audio editor for editing audio or music in your videos:
-Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/ (you will need to get the lame mp3 encoder and ffmpeg addons from the download page. Also id suggest getting extra plugins aswell)
