Nophix Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I need to do a presentation for my Public Speaking class, and I want to create a short video. Can anyone recommend me a good open source video editor and capturer? Needs to run on Vista preferably, but at least on XP. No Nix systems running currently, at least not that can handle video editing. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Does it have to be open source or can it just be free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nophix Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Free, open source, anything will work. I just have a soft spot for OS and try to run as much as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 PersonallY I would just use Adobe stuff (you know the drill, say no more) but there is Jahshaka and a few others. Depending on what your doing you may just be able to use the MS video edit thingy. Not amazing but its free and could get the job done.

Nophix Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 I want to make a compilation video of screen shots from different video games throughout the years, throw in a a few clips from Pure Pwnage, and overlay some music. It's the intro for a speech I"m going to do about the history of the video game culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Would you kindly include the monitor humping in this video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nophix Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Would you kindly include the monitor humping in this video. It wouldn't be PP footage without it! I'm also including the BOOM Headshot, and a few other snipits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Um, if your using windows, just use Windows Movie Maker. It's included with XP and can be downlaoded from the Microsoft site if you need to update it or was nto installed initially. It's not the greatest editor, but you can make damn good videos if you play around with it long enough. There are tons of addons and scripts you can customize yoruself, so you can get whatever effect you want, just need to learn how to tweak it. http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/Forums/Default.aspx and the main site: http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/Index.aspx are good resources for things you can do with Movie Maker that are not obvious "out of the box". I use a few other programs to edit movies and found that once you learn movie maker, it is probably one of the quickest and easiest(for windows) drag and drop setups there is for beginners who do not need advanced things like color keying and multiple audio streams. If all you want is to add some images and vid clips, and throw some music over it, Movie Maker will be enough to get the job done with minimal effort.
