FREE VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS FEATURES:
You can take a little more control when you need it, for instance trimming clips and applying a few other basic options. The program’s main focus is on making it very simple to produce quality movies, though, and for the most part it’s a great success.
Commercial video editors can be very expensive, of course, but you may not have to go that far. Whether you want to trim your clips down to size, add a soundtrack or captions, apply transitions or special effects, there are some great free tools which can help – and these are the very best around.
There are plenty of limitations, too (you can’t maximise the program window to use your full screen resolution, for instance), but Kate’s Video Toolkit is extremely easy to use. If you don’t want to read Help files and your editing needs are simple, it could be a great choice.
While this sounds basic, there are lots of options and fine controls to help make sure everything goes as you expect, and an excellent online wiki which documents everything. Overall, Avidemux is well worth a look, as long as you’re happy to spend a little time learning how it all works.
When your project is complete, there are options to save it to file, optimise your movie for various mobile devices, or even burn it to DVD.
With a download size of only 327KB, you’d expect MPEG Streamclip to be, well, a little underpowered. And yet, the program opens multiple files, DVDs or URLs of video streams; can trim, cut, copy or paste parts of your footage; and has options to rotate your footage or export the soundtrack, while its Export dialog provides more control over your finished video than some commercial products.
