Freeware Video Editing Softare

[Joe Don Baker]

I'm looking for some easy to use freeware video editing software. It doesn't have to be real flashy I basically just want to remove commercials from shows I've recorded onto my HDD.

I've tried some software called Womble and it works great and is easy to use for what I need to do. But it cost 60.00$. I think that is a lot of money for what I need to do.

The software has to be able to edit MPEG or WMV files or both preferably. Any ideas?

I tried it. It sucks. Wouldn't open any of my movies. And the interface is awful so confusing way too much going on. Argg I feel I'm going to have to shell out the cash for Womble. It is the only program I've tried so far that was easy to use and would do what I wanted it to do in a short time. I can't believe there is not one decent freeware video editor just for cutting out stuff from MPEG's or whatever format.

yea avid is a really high end program. Its what most studios, TV stations, and AD agencies use as their main video editing software.

try Here (http://www.poweroid-video-editing.co.uk/Video_Editing_Software/free_video_editing_software.asp). It has a few links to ones that are free and a few demos.

There are probably at least 20 of what you want that are compatible with Linux. Check Sourceforge (http://www.sourceforge.net).

I'm not looking for what high end studios or TV stations use. I just want something that will cut out commercials.

It would not open any of my files. How do I learn if it won't work?
