Looking for free video editing software

[ecookman]

Basically I'm too cheep to buy one, any one will do as long as I can change audio levels, and flip the video.

Old, but I'm quite sure VDM can at least flip the video and maybe do audio. Audacity can easily handle audio.

Windows Movie Maker?
(Yes I know...don't eat me )

dreamspark.com. As long as your a student you can get microsoft expression 4 for free.

WMM always crashes on me because my videos are too great for it. I'm currently testing VDM, I'll let you know how it goes....in about 2 hours :/

Know of any with a better GUI?

Lastly, can Photo Shop Elements edit video? I might be able to use my fathers copy. [Dam im behind on tech]

I've heard iMovie is amazing.

[mirhagk]

isn't that a mac program? I would assume he would've said that if he had a mac, and it looks like he doesn't.

But you can get microsoft expressions 4 for free from dreamspark, you can also get all the visual studio IDE's, and all of their servers, internet explorer 9, small basic, and virtual pc. It's actually straight up amazing.

Can you still torrent things like Aperture and stuff on a iMac or MacBook Pro?

We're not allowed to talk about those things on this forum. But a quick Google search will give you your answer.

I don't believe so. Last time I used it (a few versions ago), it could only piece together pictures and videos in the form of a slideshow. Premiere Elements (which can be bought both in a bundle with PS Elements or seperately) is actually not that bad for home-video editing. So far, it's the only video editing software that I actually liked that's not too expensive.

Do you think this holiday season would be a good time to buy an iMac? Why or why not? Do you think Apple will be releasing a new line-up of Macs soon in the new year?

Macs are too overpriced...see this: http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=26311&highlight=mac

IMO, you should do just what ecookman said in that post
I personally actually like Windows 7...

[SS1389]

Yes, they are quite expensive, but the 21.5' iMac actually isn't that costly, and for the video editing that I do, it would be perfect.

I do love the Mac editing (sound, video, DVD, etc...) programs...but you can find working alternatives for Windows or Linux which will do the job just as well (tho perhaps not a stunning GUI)...
