I'm using the Virtual Dub for legends and the logo, the wax 2.0 for the transitions and effects and the trakAxPC for the sound, but I'm not happy! I don't like the moviemaker that cames with windows... I want to know if there is a free option for the adobe premiere that mix all functions together and dont costs three tousand dollars:D Anybody?

Curious but true, Blender has one onboard :)


But don't ask me if it is good. I have given up the battle with the only software without human interface ...


Then there is the free Avid version. A professional Videocut software. But the developer has canceled the support for the free version. So you may search somewhere else for the download.

the avid tool is nothing like their other products...in fact, it really sucks. You can only open files from a dv-cam and then save back out. Of course, this may have changed.


You can pick up a copy of pinnacle studio for about £40 I think, and it's ok....


I actually have Liquid 6...pretty hardcore but worth the money.

You can always use the Adobe Premier free 30 day trial which is fully functional for 30 days, of course after the 30 days you are stuck. I use virtualdub now and then but I know it is not the most feature bulging application around.

Does it have to be free? There is sony vegas platinum which is like 120 bucks I think which will do everything you want and more.

I have to admit I have yet to try Blender for video editing but it sounds like a project I will take on later.



If you want no cost software I think the stuff mentioned is about the extent of what is free. The only one I have not seen here yet is Jahshaka. This product is a project resurrected as open source I believe and looks interesting. I have not looked at it for several months so read carefully before d/l.


For a couple of hundred dollars you can get other integrated type packages as mentioned here.


I personally just acquired Pinnacle Studio Pro. I have not used it yet as my current project is too early for editing stage but it looks promising.


Hope this helps.
