Free video editing software

[IAmAndre]

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a simple video editor on Linux or Windows allowing me to do simple tasks. At the moment, I just want to add text (in a nice font and color) and audio to an image. Blender is not an option.

 

Thanks

Windows Movie Maker?

Thanks. I've never tried. I will if I don't find any Linux alternative.

davinci resolve free

Videopad is pretty good, just ignore the amateurish website and slightly silly interface. 

It's got quite a few effects, works with almost any video format, easy to add text, etc.

It's literally as basic as you can get for simply adding text/audio and images lol

Windows movie maker is the easiest.

AppGeeker would be a nice choice.

is it for 32-bit or 64-bit.....plz say 32-bit

Windows Movie Maker is good enough for what you want.. likely.

 

You can even force it to output above 1080p 60fps as well. 1440p/4k mp4s if so desired..with tweaking a saved preset in notepad to do so, after you create it you then edit the resolution, bitrate and fps if need be in a txt editor, as long as you dont re-edit and save the preset in-app it will stick. Just label them appropriately.

I haven't been able to install. I think that's because I need a dongle?

It seems like it's not a freeware, and I'm having a problem similar to the one mentioned here : https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=36046

davinchi resolve has a free version 

[IAmAndre]

I picked the "free" one but it just won't start. I ran the installation script but the program just won't launch when I try to. The worst part is I don't know how to uninstall it.

Oh sweet I'm actually on the midst of planning a year in review video for an organization I'm in.

I haven't used it at all, but I've heard Kdenlive is the best free video editor, but it's only available on Linux and I heard that before there was a free version of DaVinci Resolve.

Davinci Resolve is really good. and its free.

Thanks a lot. Kdenlive is by far the best video editor I've ever used on Linux, if not the best on any platform. There is room for improvement, but it's still a very solid option since it uses ffmpeg, which I've been using a lot in the past few years. Projects can be either rendered directly from the software, or you can choose to generate a ffmpeg command, which is awesome if you want to render a video on a server (no more CPU or bandwidth issues this way). It's also very light and present on most distros repositories.
