Any Free (cheap) Video Editing software recommendation...?

154 60 November 29, 2016 at 07:47 AM
Hello,
I wonder if any of you could recommend me some FREE video editing software that is reliable and easy to use. I need to make a short 30 -45 seconds video clip but after browsing Craigslist, most videographers gave me very high quotes. I don't need something fancy because it would be used as an educational commercial video clip. Perhaps after I put them in together and then hire someone else to do a voice over to finish the clip as I am trying to save money

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried Windows Movie Maker? Or are you on an Apple PC?

YouTube has a really basic editor available. You can use a mic with Audacity to record a voice over as an mp3 then lay it over the video.

Are you on a Mac? iMovie is a pretty good video editor. I use it all the time.

Sorry for late response. I use PC. But I decide to let the professional to do my project at FIVERR... Cheaper than Craigslist videographers Smilie Thanks.

Thank you for your advice but I really am no good at these so hiring the professionals seem to be my better approach... I had used some software but it looks too amateur and HS look Frown

Thanks again.
