Programs

Windows Movie Maker 2

Windows MovieMaker 2 is a capable little editor and ships free with virtually all new XP computers these days, with upgrades available on the Microsoft Website and other addons available as part of the Plus! package.


Apple iMovie'05


Apple iMovie '05 is an excellent (and free) video editor for the Mac platform, with advanced video editing features and a lot of addon and plug-in support. You can find more information about iMovie at Apple's iLife '05 site. Note that this software is free only if you buy a new Mac. You can purchase it, however, if you just want the software.


Avid FreeDV

Avid's free software lets you get in the Avid door for free. Fairly difficult to use interface, although over a dozen pretty good tutorials are available from Avid's website. Originally developed for Windows XP, FreeDV now runs on Macs on the OS X platform.

Wax


Wax is a homegrown video editor from Debug Software that started out as a college project. It's now a mature piece of software, but it's user interface leaves A LOT to be desired. However, I have to admit, it gets the job done. If you are insistent on not spending money on software, then go download Wax, it just may work for you.


Zwei-Stein

Zwei-Stein 3.01 is a freeware and according to their Web site, "offers many advanced features unavailable elsewhere." That may be, but the system is for technogeeks only. (Sorry ThugsAtBay, but I have to protect my readers.) If you feel adventurous and you don't mind getting under the technical hood, this could be for you. My test drive of the product proved that it's for real and can do the job. It's just not all that user friendly.
