Free Basic Video Editor?

[FN-GM]

Hello,

 

I am wondering if anyone can suggest a basic video editing software that is free and runs on Windows 10 please? Someone that would be in the same league and Windows Movie Maker.

 

Thanks

Shotcut or OpenShot.

 

Edit. Is Movie Maker not an option?

Have a look at Hitfilm Express

Unless I'm misreading the question Windows Live 2012 Movie maker works fine on Windows 10, I use it all the time. For advanced editing though +1 for Shotcut

We're using Live Movie Maker here as well on Windows 10 with no issues. We use the command line:

 

wlsetup-all.exe /AppSelect:MovieMaker /q /NOSEARCH /NOHOMEPAGE /NOCEIP /NOMU /NOLAUNCH

 

This installs it as part of a package task.

 

I'm led to believe the new Windows 10 'Creators' update has an up to date Movie Maker included along with a Groove Music Maker. Due Spring 2017 which should give us enough time to test it properly ready for Summer.

https://www.wevideo.com caught my eye recently, online video editing so pushes the storage away from your network plus it allows students to work on things from home. There are mobile apps for it too. Basic version is free, but there are options for managed versions (create accounts for students automatically, easily share things with teacher etc.) for a few hundred quid.

Those suggesting MovieMaker - Windows Live MovieMaker (i.e. part of the Windows Essentials 2012 package) has been discontinued (as of Jan 10th 2017)... see https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/18614/windows-essentials

 

In short, if you don't already have the Windows Essentials installer package downloaded, you can no longer get it from any official sources. You're reliant on someone on here sharing it with you, however, better to go with an alternative in the short-term until the Creators Update is released in April.

You can still download the installer from Microsoft. I just tried it using the link I posted here...

Note

Windows Essentials 2012 suite reached end of support on January 10, 2017.

It is no longer available for download.

 

It's weird that Microsoft didn't replace Movie Maker with anything for Windows 10. Even Autodesk Smoke is only for Mac.

 

I will check out some of the other suggestions here and report back.

Has it been confirmed that there's a video editor as part of the Creators Update?

I had problems installing Movie Maker on Windows 10 due to it moaning about dot net 3.5 installation.

Blender can also do video editing.

The .NET Framework 3.5 can easily be added to Windows 10.
