Simple and free video editing software?

[bloodhound31]

G'day blokes,

I have a couple of quick videos shot with my phone camera that I would like to experiment with killing the sound, adding a bit of music and maybe some flash-looking titles or something.

I have Premiere Elements but it's pissing me off and my old Windows Movie Maker on XP won't recognise the MPEG-4 coming out of my mobile phone.

Any freeware out there that's no-fuss and a bit of fun to play with?

There is no really good windows video editor for free, IMO.

Check trial version of Movie Studio Platinum. It's not crippled in any way aside from the 30 day limit.

Check out www.snapfiles.com under the'FREE' tag. I've used a lot of stuff from there and had no problems with bugs or anything. Just read any hints about not installing suggested toolbars etc . There is some good software on there.

VideoPad Editor

i have used this and had good results. Microsoft have a free basic editor too tho the name escapes me for the moment.

You can use HandBrake to transcode your MPEG-4 videos into something thta WMM can recognise:

Thanks guys... and Jeanette. I got it sorted. Found a site where you can upload the MPEG-4 and it emails you a WMV.

Solved.
