Does anybody know of any decent (& free) video editing software?
Basically, I've bought a Hard drive camcorder and it comes with some very basic software which allows you to burn it to DVD.
I want to be able to overdub soundtrack and add titles, fade in blah blah blah.....
I've had a decco on download.com but cannae find anything free that does what I need.
Any ideas most welcome.....
Steve Scorsese.

Don't know of a free one, but I lofs me some Pinnacle Studio - $50, 25 quid to you.

Windows Movie Maker is easy and does all the basic stuff.
BUT sometimes crashes

I can't get to to work for 2min without having to restart (what I usualy don't do anyway )
Another Shade of You.
Sometimes you can find older versions of decent software on some computer/video related magazines - or in case of doubt: ebay
You will only need super duper state of the art software if you are going to edit x.264 encoded or HighDef related stuff.

Did the trick when I moved some videos onto YouTube. And QuickTime's another option...robertzombie wrote:Windows Movie Maker is easy and does all the basic stuff.
It depends on the full extent of what you want to do. Handbrake seems pretty comprehensive, but can only encode to HD. TMPGEnc is fantastic, but the freebie version can't do MPEG2 beyond 30 days, and it comes with a steep-ish learning curve. Virtualdub is also good, but only outputs AVI. Various versions of Nero that come free with DVD drives will do most of what you want, but they use their own proprietary format. And that's about the limit of what I'm familiar with...
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I'll second (or is that third?) Windows Movie Maker. Never had a problem with it myself, but your mileage may vary...I want to be able to overdub soundtrack and add titles, fade in blah blah blah.....
