Top 5 Free Video Editor Review

There are many free video editor programs available for download today, but not all of them are good. Many programs simply don't do what the manufacturers say that they will do, and others don't provide enough - or any support. Of course, most free software does not include the same level or quality of support that you would expect to find with software that you purchase.

While you should remember that you get what you pay for, there really is some good free video editor available. Here are the top five that we have found:

Microsoft Movie Maker

Microsoft Movie Maker

Already installed on newer computers that are running Windows XP, Movie Maker has drag and drop features to make creating and editing your movie easier. Microsoft has many add-ons for this software, and upgrades are available through the website. This is one of the easiest free video editor programs available.

   
Apple iMovie

Apple iMovie

Apple iMovie is comparable to Windows Movie Maker, but Apple iMovie is used on the MAC operating system. Apple iMovie has many advanced features and add-ons. Unfortunately, the software is only free if you buy a new MAC system. If you want the software without buying the system, it is available for purchase. One of the best free video editor programs available for MAC users.

   

AVS Video Editor
