Video editing software?

Brazo · 29 Oct 2016 at 23:04

I have 15-20 short video clips that I shot which need to be stitched together with transitions and perhaps some of the clips shortened. I'd like to add some music and simple graphics.

Is there an easy to use software package?

Windows movie maker, one of the easiest to use and it's free.

You can get adobe premiere pro on a monthly subscription and cancel the subscription once you are finished. Be careful not to sign up for a year though. Its the best on the market.

Movie maker is fine, its what I use for basic video editing

As long as it's simple. I know nothing about video editing I just want to get this short done!

Just a quick question. I downloaded movie maker and its so simple and I have created my video. When I went to output at the full 1080p it is asking me to upgrade to full product at a cost. Have I chosen the right product or did I perhaps fall for some click bait!

This should be the link although it doesn't mention Windows 10 (should still work though if you are on Windows 10). Can't recall there being a premium version but that might have changed since the last time I used it (back in XP days if I can recall)

I never knew anything about video editing and I started with movie maker and now do ok with it (cut parts out and add videos to make one clip).

did you download Microsoft essentials 2012 and install it that way? what option did you pick when saving the video and ill check my end as I just do it as a mp4 file.

Thanks both.

Had a fiddle and logged on to windows essentials or something and it then allowed me to save at high res!

Ok next problem!

The videos I shot picked up some unwanted audio. Basically I want silent video with a music overlay. Can I remove the sounds using this program? The
