Video editing software suggestions

Hi Guys and Gals,

Just wanted to get your suggestions on video editing software. Basically looking maybe into getting the kids to do light editing for (Junior school children).

We have CC3 windows XP network.

Since the Specs of the machines vary(Pentium 4's and core 2 duos with a mixture of 1gb and 2gb RAM) in the ICT suite something light would be better suited to maybe start out on editing.

That or i have suggested to maybe purchase in the new financial year some media editing capable machines.

All your guys and gals input would be greatly appreciated.

Having just purchased the serif suite. +1 for the above.

you could try videopad its not free but does a good job and is basic enough for the kids
free trial available and also it works after the trial but with nag screens

Video Editing Software. Download Free Video Movie Editor

they also have some free stuff for you to use
check the downloads section

Moviemaker? simple interface with timeline drag and drop for your sounds and transitions/text

They have removed the timeline from movie maker on windows 7

EDIT: Didnt read original post... sorry

We have the cyberlink stuff and works very well for us

Thanks guys, I will check out windows movie maker for windows xp and see if I can maybe deploy that for now and then look into the stuff you guys have suggested.

It's practically unusable though and certainly not suited to primary kids! This was mentioned about 2yrs here but unfortunately barely any progress has been made and it's still a very buggy, crashy alpha product.

To be honest, i'd just stick with movie maker initially until/unless they get more proficient.

I havent used to be honest so i would know :)

Just to give you an update.

In the end I deployed, Movie maker and Photostory. I also bought the serif suite with some licensing for Movie plus. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Just a note on this, you can install MovieMaker 2.6 (the XP version) on Win7 - download here Download: Windows Movie Maker 2.6 - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details

If you're into some serious video editing than go for either Adobe Premier Pro or Sony Vegas. Else search google for easy to use video editors.

Yes, Movie maker is the best option for the starters as it gives all the features required at the basic level, most important is that it is available free of cost. For windows 7 it is not built-in but you can install it free.
VCD cutter is also a very easy & useful software just for cutting and merging the videos.

corel video studio is the best

I had gone through the post. There are many free video editing software's on the Internet. Video editing software is application software which handles the post-production video editing of digital video sequences on a computer non-linear editing system.
