Freeware is not always good ware, and vise versa. I often find problems in freeware. How about this one - htt p://ww w.freedownloadscenter.com/Search/mpeg_editor.html

Personally I like VirtualDub. Great free tool for editing avi files. You can always convert to and from MPEGs with some free conversion tool.

Functionality is a little limited though. Windows Movie Maker comes free with XP (and Vista I think) and again, you will need to convert to and from the file format it uses.

If you want any more advanced functionality than that then I guess you will have to splurge on some tasty video editing software.

I recommend AutoGK although it takes a lot of time to finish.

I use Sony Vegas Pro myself, they have a cheap version which goes for around $100, you can try that, they also give you a fully functional trial as far as i know.

Open source doesn't really compete as of yet, at least i haven't heard of anything. Which is to bad, because video editing is very over priced.


If you are looking for 3d modeling and animation as well, try out blender.org - Home
