Just I wanna learn the basic idea of video editing, like background editing and other dream effects like hollywood movie.
So, I wanna know which video editor of windows should I use.
If I can know it then I'll be very glad.
Please tell me.
Answer
Video Editing:
Lightworks; semi-free alternative to Avid ($1,200), Adobe Premiere ($240/year), and Sony Vegas ($600).
http://lwks.com
Lightworks has been used in the movie industry for more than 20 years. Lightworks also has the fastest workflow in the industry.
Lightworks used to cost more than $1,000, but now Lightworks Pro costs $60/year and you can download a free version from their website.
Editors using Lightworks have produced numerous internationally renowned and Oscar and Emmy award-winning feature films and television programs, including The King's Speech, The Departed, Mission Impossible, Braveheart, and Pulp Fiction.
Lightworks is FREE if you don't need pro video codecs and you can use the free version as long as you want.

3D Animation and VFX Compositing:
Blender; free alternative to Maya ($3,700) and After Effects ($240/year).
http://blender.org
Blender has a complete VFX pipeline in one single software package. Blender has tools for modeling, sculpting, rigging, animation, rotoscoping, chroma keying (green screen), motion tracking, smoke, fire, and fluid simulation, particles, destruction, physics, color grading, node compositing, and video editing.
After Effects uses "layer-based" compositing. Blender uses "node-based" compositing similar to Nuke ($4,155); used in the movie industry http://thefoundry.co.uk/products/nuke
Blender has more advanced features but After Effects is easier to use.
The easiest and most detailed tutorial on how to use Blender is Neal Hirsig's tutorial at http://gryllus.net/Blender/3D.html

What do professionals use for video editing software! like hollywood stuff!?
godsguy94
please dont say sony vegas or after effects.............
Answer
They use Avid. But I think some studios are starting to use Apple's Final Cut Pro, but Im not sure. If you are looking to buy it, I think Avid is really expensive, and probably would slow your computer down a lot. You should get Pinnacle studio, it is made by the company that makes Avid, and it is the best editing software you can get for the money i think (for Windows anyway, personally I'm a Mac user).
