Free Video Editing Software

There are plenty of good free video editing software that offer useful features as adding scrolling texts, subtitles, custom animations and similar.To help you out, I decided to provide you the list of top 8 free video editing software. Let’s begin with it.

1) Microsoft Movie Maker
Microsoft Movie Maker is one of most popular video editing software that offers enough basic features to get the job done but stops short of the abundant options and effects found in other programs. For example, although Movie Maker includes many text motion effects for rolling credits and similar animations, there are no canned text styles to aid in the design. You can’t adjust volume levels at specific locations in the timeline but only a track at a time. And Movie Maker 2 has no built-in DVD– or Video CD–authoring capabilities.Other weaknesses include awkward trimming controls that make performing precise edits difficult, and a general lack of configurability. For example, you can’t set levels on filters like blur, pixelate, and other special effects.

Windows Movie Maker has been in every version of Windows since Me… XP and Vista… but it’s not in Windows 7. So for those who use windows 7 , below is download link
