Best free video editing software?
« on: May 17, 2009, 04:03:02 PM »
I found a bunch of editing software when searching, but the only 1 that i actually got to work witout it freezing my computer is 1 that apparently doesnt keep audio, which would typically be fine, but it also doesnt have a timer on it, so finding the part i wanted to cut took some time.

If anyone has something that will give me a simple cutting tool, whle keeping audio, that also has a simple way of puttin all the clips together, that would be great.

It didn't come with Windows Movie Maker? Odd. If not, you can download it for free.

I tried windows movie maker, i cant see any video, i only get sound & a green screen.

It might be a vista problem.

Codec problem.  Install this http://download.cnet.com/Windows-Essentials-Media-Codec-Pack/3000-2140_4-10662709.html and then try Movie Maker again.

Sounds like it. I just did a quick Google search on the issue, and found someone was having a "half green screen" issue. I believe it was something to do with the codec.

And try what UG said.

If that doesn't work, I would try the software WAX and see if that's any better.
