Are there any good FREE video editing/creating programs?

Tim Sing

I just got a new camcorder Samsung SC-MX10 and have no editing software. I mean threes always Windows Movie Maker but that sucks.

I need something half way decent that will keep the original quality of the film. I may consider purchasing something down the line if I really get into it. But there is always a free version of stuff that works just the same. So I thought Iâd ask.

Thanks

Answer
There are a couple around. None of them have the full functionality that a professional grade video editor like Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid or Final Cut Pro do, but some of them still have a fair number of features and capabilities. Best to research any video editor software you come across to see if its features and abilities match your needs.

VideoMach 2.7.2 - FREE - deceptively powerful. Assemble clips, break your video files down into JPG's or BMP's for individual frame editing and the reassemble them into a video file, trim out that pesky frame where you accidentally took a shot of your thumb, Crop, resize, apply filters, audio editing is included aswell (not great, but useable), convert between file formats, make thumbnails for your webpage. a very useful piece of software.
"high performance media processing engine with ability to construct ,join, split, filter, tune and convert digital video, audio, images and image sequences. Supports AVI, MPEG, MP3, FLC, JPEG, PNG, BMP, SGI, WAV, OGG and many other formats."
For a list of all versions, go here:

MediaEdit Pro 2 - "Designed specifically for moviemakers, amateur photographers and new creative artists, MediaEdit Pro will show you the world of movie and picture magic and help create professional looking, impressive movie projects. It includes several unique features not found in any other product. This is not your traditional hard to use movie editing environment.
Enhance your projects by adding over 200 included stunning effects, filters and transitions. It is as simple to use as iMovie, but many times more powerful! MediaEdit Pro's ease-of-use lets even beginners create movies that will impress the pros!"

DDclip - "A professional, non-linear, non-destructive, multitrack, real-time audio and video editor for Windows. It allows you to process and mix up to 32 high-quality audio tracks (24 bit/96 kHz is available) with real-time audio effects (including any DirectX plug-ins) on PC with any Windows-compatible sound card."

DDclip free 2.23 - DDClip Free 2.23 is the most restricted package of DDClip with minimal set of features. The difference between the pro and free version can be seen here

http://www.softlab-nsk.com/ddclipro/free.html

Windows Movie Maker 2 - FREE - An update of WMM that came with Windows XP, supposedly a vast improvement. And it's free.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx

VirtualDub - VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for Windows platforms (95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP), licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters.

http://www.virtualdub.org/

Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 - Slightly watered down version of its big brother Premiere Pro (now CS3), Premiere Elements provides basic editing and stability for a great price. If your looking for a product to edit with thats relatively inexpensive this is definetly worth a look. Its only $100 and with what you get its worth it.

http://www.adobe.com/products/premiereel/

Vegas Movie Studio - Sony Vegas is widely becoming the editing program of choice among alot of indie filmmakers. The interface seems to be what people like about it and its price is unbeatable. This package also comes with DVD Authoring software for DVD menu creation, animating, adding buttons, etc. If you are a Brickfilmer who wants alot of features, and doesn't have alot of dough this is THE choice for you. (its only $80) If you already own an Adobe Product or two, Premiere Pro or Elements is a better choice for the integration between them.

Is there any video editing software that can make my videos widescreen?

The Jugger

ya know, like the black bars on the top and bottom?

Answer
Windows Movie Maker (WMM) is the wort software I've ever seen for video editing. If you want something better it would be (like Samuel Adams said). "The top 3 video edting software choices for the PC is Ulead Video Studio, Adobe Premiere Elements and Sony Vegas. These programs are not free, but you can download a free trial from their Web sites."

For free software you must search GPL software. I did and there are not many options. The one I found for Windows (Virtual Dub) does not make widescreen but is very good compared to the WMM limitations. Or at least for Windows. Still the free video editor that comes with Mac is very good.

Still if your videos where made 4,3 (old TV style), if you make them 16,9 (Widescreen) they might not look so good...

Where can i find a good video editor for free?

It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. VirtualDub is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read (not write) MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images.

How do you make a 1st person shooter on the pc?

alex r

im trying to figure how to because me and my freind have this great idea for a video game on the pc. Any ideas on software or anything plz help.

Answer
It's not so easy to do, but if you're willing to put in the time and effort, what you will need is an engine and some development tools, to make models, textures etc.

If you want to spend money you can get a 1st-class game engine and devkit from Garage Games, it's called Torque. The commercial version is used to develop a lot of games sold today. The version for individuals is $100.

If you aren't planning on designing the next Quake though, you could try some of the better open-source or gpl engines. Crystal Space is one, irrlamb is another. Google the names to find them.

The easiest to use though, and the easiest to learn, is the Cube engine. The latest fully developed version is called Sauerbraten, also called Cube 2. With it you can design multiplayer maps including in capture (zones, or bases) mode, and you can make singleplayer levels as well. There are tons of built-in textures and models, and you can make your own too. You can set triggers to open doors, make animated pools of water, put different weapons and armor here and there, put in an end-of-level objective, all kinds of things. It actually is being used by a development company to make a commercial game too.
Besides that, it is a game in its own right, plenty of maps there already and online multiplayer too. You can stop the game any time, go into edit mode, and edit the terrain. (it's considered cheating in actual games though.)

You can find Sauerbraten here:

yuna_81818

I'm playing around with GarageBand and making small songs just for fun and I'd like to put them into something of a slideshow to upload on YouTube.. but iMovie takes up too much space on my Macbook, so I can't use that.

Answer

It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and scripting capabilities.

is there a software capable of editing subtitles already on a movie?

Transfatbo

I downloaded a movie and it had Thai subtitles. I wanted to change the Thai subtitles into English ones. Is anything capable of that?

Answer
You might like this program called Subtitle Processor. It will let you edit, repair and translate existing subtitles. Not only does it enable you to edit subtitles by cutting and joining sentences, correcting typos, removing extra spaces, etc but it also helps you synchronize the text and the video image.

http://subtitle-processor.en.softonic.com/

It's also licensed under the GPL which means it's 100% free.
