Yes Murray included ! Any way I've got a new computer coming with windows 10 pro. They don'y come with windows movie maker included. Actually I'm good with that - Movie Maker was very "glitchy" and often froze up. I'd like to graduate from that. I'm looking for a video editing program Ol' BIGS can learn to edit with, without needing an engineering degree. and wont crash all the time. It does not need to be a "freebie". I've read good things about Pinnacle 22 but looking for suggestions from real users. If you google video editing programs you get pages and pages of hype. Anybody got "real world" experience?
I use Vegas Pro and it's really good, but might not be very easy to learn. Once you learn it though it is super powerful.

I use Ubuntu (Linux) rather than Windows and it comes with Openshot Video Editor. It is free and probable has a Windows version. Very simple but works for all the basic videos I have done.
I make film and TV for a living. Sound though, but I use video editing programs also. Avid Media Composer is standard in hi end work, there is a free version: https://www.avid.com/media-composer-first. (Mac and PC)
I use Final Cut Pro (for Mac though) a lot of PC users I work with use Adobe Premiere nowadays.
Resolve is good, we use it, not the free version though, not sure how that one is.
Thanks for the input guys!
Cody, I've heard of this one from someone too. They like it but could not say how it was since MAGIX took it over (??) Is this the version your using?
redgum78 - looks like they do have a windows version... I will need to "read up"
Murray - that's another one I've not heard of. Wish you already had some experience with it
soundcontrol - nice to get input from somebody who does it for a living ! I've heard of avid. I understand you start w this but finish w something else?? Explain please. I also heard of the adobe, from what i see it's a monthly subscription, I don't do enough to warrant that. But not afraid to spend a hundred or two if need be.
My biggest thing is learning curve and no glitchy/freeze up stuff. Every video I've ever done w Movie Maker - the thing that took the most time is the re-edits because things froze or did not save properly. I did a little research and found that a four core processor is best for video. So that's what I have coming (and big memory). As I looked "googled" video programs I was amazed at how many there were. And the related hype ! Which is why I'm looking for real users!!!

Yes, just looked at Adobe, they are moving everything to subscriptions now, many companies are doing that, not great for smaller users. We cut the films in Avid Media Composer, then I use Avid Pro Tools and a bunch of other programs to finish the sound while the VFX and grading guys does their final touches on the picture with DaVinci Resolve, thats the most common workflow.
