Free Video Editors
This page lists free video editing software, which you can use to edit or process your video file, training video or movie. Editing can involve as simple an operation as cutting or trimming portions you do not want (such as ads from a video you captured from your TV tuner) or as complext an operation as adding effects, layering an audio track, adding subtitles, and so on, to a movie that you are creating The supported operating system for each program is also listed below. Some of them may require that you install one or more of the codecs listed on the Free Video Codecs page in order to support a particular video format.
If you are looking for a fully-featured product, you may want to also consider commercial products like
VideoStudio 11 Plus
which not only contain a huge set of features for creating and editing your videos or movies, but also tools to make it easier for you to
author your own DVDs.
Furthermore, this page does not list companies that provide free online editors for your videos and movies. These sites are generally listed on the Free Video Hosting page. The online editing facilities provided by such sites, though, tend to be rudimentary at best and are not meant to be general purpose video editors as such, but designed for you to polish files that you have uploaded to their system. If you want to create a video for use both online and offline (such as to be published on a DVD or VCD), it is generally best to use offline software tools like those listed on this page.
