I am looking for a good, free video editing software?
Question by allie: I am looking for a good, free video editing software?
Okay, Windows movie maker isn’t letting me upload my videos or music. then i got AVS video editor and i cant upload the videos i make onto youtube. I have tried changing the format but it only gave me 2 options and neither worked.
Does anyone know how to fix either of these problems?
or can anyone recommend a good one? it doesn’t have to be free but it would be a plus.
I really like how i-movie is set up, but i don’t have a mac so if their is a program like that but for a pc i would be willing to pay for it.

You are not limited to Windows.. You can install Linux for free and dual boot. Linux has some really good free video editing/music software too..
(Also look at http://www.ubuntustudio.org ) which is a derivative of Ubuntu (but comes with Multimedia software) you need to have the ability to burn a DVD.. If you don’t, just get Ubuntu and install software for free..
