A friend with no interest in serious movie making asked my advice on a simple editor to trim the rubbish on footage shot with his vest-pocket camcorder. I reminded him of Windows Movie Maker ... which along with Apple's iMovie work well enough for most casual video users.
Tonight I heard through colleagues in the Bristol club that Lightworks is becoming available totally free - first for Windows and later in 2011 for other platforms. Lightworks has a strong history in the professional film making world. It began by working like the cine film editors of old. It won an Academy Award in the technical section. You can find out more at http://www.lightworksbeta.com
There are a handful of other video editors around that are totally free but the ones I have looked at are less than user-friendly. Anyone know more?
[I don't mean the many free-trial-for-a-limited-period offerings - I'm interested in genuinely free and complete programs.]
