AVID is giving away a free version of it's top of the line video editor "MEDIA COMPOSER". This is a very cool app that is used on a variety of film and tv shows. It's one of the most used editing app in pro circles for films/tv/etc.
It's a trimmed down version of the app, that's why it's free, but it's still plenty powerful and will help you make killer vids. If you are using microsoft video or something like that, save yourself, and go get this free version of AVID. https://my.avid.com/mcfirst It was used on the recent movie shot in my home state of GA "Baby Driver" He used it live on set with just a macbook pro to edit the move as they shot it!! It's very fast software.  Here is an article about it.https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/editing-an...nd-baby-driver/

Thanks Todd,
I've been looking for an alternative to Movie Maker for a while. Nice one. Just got to learn how to use it now

Todd,
I can't unzip the files, I get this.  I've tried installing from within the zipped file but it says files are missing I've tried getting into the Avid Video community forum but it won't let me in,

And for those running a non-Intel machine there's LIGHTWORKS, you'll also have to get the EYEFRAME Converter too.

The only time I've seen this is on systems that are either just not compatible (wrong video card/processor/etc.) and on systems running the wrong version of windows. Did you make sure your computer meets the minimum specs in terms of hardware and software?
Todd QUOTE (Phil66 @ Jul 12 2017, 03:47 PM)  Todd, I can't unzip the files, I get this. I've tried installing from within the zipped file but it says files are missing I've tried getting into the Avid Video community forum but it won't let me in, The good news is AVID WILL RUN ON WINDOWS! So you don't need a mac. if you have a relatively new windows machine, just download and install. It went very easy for me but then again I was doing it on a mac. Todd QUOTE (HaveGuitar @ Jul 12 2017, 04:05 PM) That's really cool! I went through a number of softwares last year wgen I started up my yt channel. Adobes didnt start on my computer at all. Tried a 3 or 4 free ones which all was too limited or could not render 4k video. Got Corels editor that also could not render 4k video... then I started using sonys movie studio platinum that came with my camera. Its a djungle!! If a mac wasnt as expensive as they are I would without doubt consider one...Good point!! IF you are running AMD processors for some reason, you are pretty much out for AVID but you can get LIGHTWORKS for free!!! It's very similar and runs on windows Todd QUOTE (Sensible Jones @ Jul 13 2017, 07:59 AM) And for those running a non-Intel machine there's LIGHTWORKS, you'll also have to get the EYEFRAME Converter too. |

I had to sign up for an Avid master account to get the download.
I can't ask the community because it won't allow me to create an Avid Community account  See bottom image of last post.I am stuck really. Cheers anyway, I will have to stick with Windows Movie Maker

I got it downloaded, but it crashes whenever I try to load a video to modify. Not certain why. I'll try it again.

I got Lightworks installed, to be honest, for quickly recording a lesson to my DAW and matching the sound up to the video, Movie Maker is a piece of wee wee, I never had to look in the help, Lightroom is more faff but I will continue to learn it
What is the Eyeframe convertor for? -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

One thing I did find though, and maybe this means I do need the convertor?, is that the video can be a bit stuttery.
I'm a bit of a numpty with this kind of thing
