Windows Movie Maker SUCKS

Tom M · 2010-03-28, 05:45 AM

Any suggestions for editing software? Prefferably free or with a usable trial period?

Nah, Im pretty sure it is illegal just to download if it wasnt everyone would do it and the company would make nothing, I think everyone does it anyway.

I can recommend MAGIX Video Deluxe. You can download a trial version at their homepage (up to 30 days available if you register). It is also quite cheap for the possibilities it offers for video editing.

mac - final cut express (or the whole finals cut studio which contains final cut pro if u wana get really serious)
windows - Sony Vegas Pro 8
those r the top quality versions of editing software (final cut is better but i cant afford a mac lol). there r probably easier editing programs to use, around but i dont really look at lower quality products to wat i hav haha

I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Very good editing software indeed. It's not free though (unless you torrent it, which I did).

Torrenting stuff is illegal, but everyone I know does it and it's nearly impossible to get caught. Sometimes you have to jump through hoops a bit to get past any piracy protection the software might have and you don't get any support with it. Oh, and of course the people that developed it don't get any money for their work.

Not that it's ever stopped me but something to bear in mind

I will pay for software if it's something I use all the time (Windows, Office) but Premiere Pro costs a hell of a lot of money and I only use it once a month if that.

Also cyber link power director is good.

I believe it was this one. Make sure you follow the instructions about editing your hosts file.

It's really not a good idea to post links to torrents on the forum.

Yikes... I should've thought about that. If a mod / admin would like to remove it we'll speak no more of it.

unicycler100 · 2010-03-30, 03:28 AM

thanks. it wasn't a direct link so shouldn't be to bad. by direct I mean the whole link thing

Jkohse · 2010-03-30, 04:06 PM

have you tried windows movie maker?

SincoJim · 2010-03-30, 04:17 PM

i've always wanted to make a video in wmm...
could be fun

nannerdw · 2010-03-30, 04:22 PM

You can actually make some pretty good quality videos with Windows Movie Maker. As long as you just stick with simple cut and fade and avoid all of those awful slideshow transitions, default white text on blue background title screens, and color wheel effects, a lot of people will assume that you used some expensive software to do your editing

Unfortunately, Movie Maker lacks a lot of common features like keyframing, layers, and compositing. I like to use Sony Vegas Pro for stuff like this, but you could try using something like Wax as a freeware alternative.
