Video editing software

Recommended Posts

I need some help with some basic video editing I'm doing for a friend. Basically, she wants certain segments pulled out of a video, and then spliced back together so it plays smoothly through. I successfully used Avidemux to take out the proper segments, and each is now saved as it's own video file. I have not been able to find any software that will combine those segments into one media file so each segment will play simultaneously. Can anyone help me out here?

It does have a bit of a learning curve, however it can do much.

Yeah it does. I usually don't have much trouble learning new software, but Avidemux has been an exception. I'm figuring it out though, and I'm getting the feeling I'm only beginning to scratch the surface of it's ability. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for video editing software.

Judging from its name I'd say it's an emulator

I just wish it could emulate some file extensions on outputted files which is my only wish for it versus manually inputting them. However I suppose that's because it isn't just a Windows only editor, and other systems could care less about file extensions.

I'm a fan of Windows Movie Maker and Photo Story 3. The number of how-tos is amazing. All you need to know has already been written by PapaJohn and can be found here: http://www.papajohn.org/

On some days, at least. The pizza competition is hard.

:lol::lol::lol:

 

I think I've used Windows Movie Maker like once or twice and that's about it. Avidemux I started using by chance one night (after I stupidly overlooked it for months on a video software download site), I've never uninstalled it because it was so good.

If you thought you had to pay a fortune for video editing software, you were wrong. There are actually many free video editing programs available. A lot of these programs are stripped down versions of professional video editing software. If you're a beginner working on simple video projects, that should be fine. Later on when you want to advance your editing, you can move up to a mid-range digital video software.
