Hello,

 

I have a video file (mp4) that I'd like to take a couple of clips from and so I'm looking for some free editing software.

 

So far, I've downloaded two programmes that claimed to be free - only to find I need an activation licence (at a price) in order to use the 'free' software.

 

Does anyone konw of any genuinely free video editing software? I don't need anything fancy, I just and to be able to take out a couple of clips.

 

TIA

Hello RSP,

 

I've used a variety of video editing software programs over the years.  Some free and some not.  My current free choice is Avid Media Composer | First (https://www.avid.com...-composer-first).  This is a fully featured video editing application, lots of awesome features, and is completely free.  The only caveat is that it requires a bit of a learning curve up front, but is well worth the effort.

 

In addition, I've also had success with Windows Movie Maker (https://www.microsof...ell-your-story/) for simple edits and trims.

 

I hope that helps!

By the way, I had some problems extracting and installing Avid Media Composer First.

Some file names where too long and I got error messages.

 

I've just installed Filmora and will see how I get on with that.

 

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

There are many free video editing software available. You can even do the basic editing in the windows video viewer. You can find more options on any website.

Here are some of the options:

Openshot

VideoPad

Freemake video converter

Last week, I took part in an activity, and I get a free lifetime license to use a video editor.

You can check the detailed information:

You just need to share it, and then you can get coupons, a one-month free license, or a lifetime license to use video editor.

I too would like to know how you can edit the size of the video without cutting it down and reducing the time duration
