Video editing software

Post by Darth_Squoobus »

I want to start making youtube poops but my new computer has no video editing software. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should get?

What are you running? Linux?
While I don't have a Mac, I'm sure OSX has a video editing software... Macs are like the god of entertainment, so there should be SOMETHING on there that can edit vids.
And Windows has Windows Movie Maker...

Macs have iMovie.

As for alternatives/better software, there's Sony Vegas. I hear it's one of the best, but it does cost money.

Doesn't it cost OVER 9000 cents? (In other words, is the cost a three-digit number?)

I wouldn't pay for movie software. The free programs I use are Windows live movie maker and to make the caption and title edits I use adobe after effects. Adobe after effects is a great intro software, you will need it if you wanna make a real video :yes:

But the free version is the trial right? If so, that only lasts for 30 days.
Also, Wax 2.0 is pretty good, if sometimes slightly difficult to handle, and 100% free.

Is it good for splicing and rearranging video clips? Can it do Chroma key?
