Open Source Video Editing Software

[SamM]

I used to use Power Director 10, too, and needed a change, but it was hard finding something I liked without paying a fortune or making my laptop stop every 20-30 minutes. 

I've been using an open source video editor called Movavi for the past year, and it's been really effective. It offers a wide range of settings like color correction, audio editing, and special effects, which I find super helpful. Just thought I'd share since it's been a great replacement for more expensive software."

Tks, I might look at it some time in the future. I am currently using Nero Video. I bought the 2018 version from someone at Ebay, because I didn't want to pay yearly, and it only cost $15. I've worked around all the bugs so that it is well behaved, but only with .mpg files. So I have to first convert them all to mpg using Aiseesoft Free Video Converter, then the editing in Nero is fast and the video quality comes out really good. I can burn straight mp4, but only if I don't have to edit.

Careful, Movavi is not open source as indicated. The site is actually deceptive since it shows Movavi compared to a list of real open source packages https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/o...ditor.html You need to read what the trial gives you https://www.movavi.com/support/trial-limitations.html

I've been using Movavi Video Editor and it works great for my needs. It's user-friendly and has plenty of features similar to Power Director. While not open source, it's pretty affordable compared to other paid options.

So for more information you can read here about imovie for pc and other alternatives like movavi.

Yeah, I've used a few open source video editors and they can be pretty solid. Shotcut and DaVinci Resolve (the free version) are both worth checking out.
