What video editing program would you recomend?


Recommended Posts

Hello, I am looking for a video editing program to do some basic work.

It needs to work with Windows 7 on a 64 bit system, with 4 gigs of ram and Intel core i3.

The following features are a must:

-Support all major filetypes. i.e. .mov, wmv, 3pg, mpeg, etc.

-Easy clipping of imported videos/audio

-Easily add audio overlay and adjust audio levels

-Simple effects like fade in/out, etc.

I would like to pay no more than $60.

I used to use an Adobe program (Premiere Pro?), but I dont want to spend the money on a new version.

Windows Live movie maker is out of the question because it does not support the filetypes I need.

I tried Corel VideoStudio, but it kept giving me errors and closing when I tried to export files.

What program would you recomend?

Premiere Elements, maybe?

I haven't tried the following two, but they are free so nothing to lose. There are other free ones also, but don't know how many you want to try.

The other two free ones look like they wont work on Windows 7

Didn't even think about that. Sorry. I'm not big on the NERO since it became so bloated, but I heard the video editor in it is actually pretty decent in the newest version. I haven't used it either. I'm not a lot of help. Haha. Good luck though

Do your homework if you choose Premiere Elements. The latest version gets terrible reviews on Amazon. I use several Adobe products, but this one appears to be a dud.

If it were me, I would use Sony Vegas.

You might need to spend more than $60 if you want something decent.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
