MOVIE EDITING TOOLS 1
The term “video editing software” refers to any computer program or mobile application that
enables you to edit one or more video files. Using video editing software, you can trim or combine
video clips, reorganise them, adjust their audio or visual aspects, or add effects like special lighting
or music. You can use video editing software to perform something as sophisticated as edit an
entire feature film, or you can do something as basic as change a video’s specifications to fit a
certain social media site. Although they are extremely simple tools, TikTok and Instagram Reels’
‘create modes’ are video editing modes.
Before publishing videos to social media, more complex edits can be made with more capable
free or commercial video editing tools. The majority of videos that you see on social media have
undergone some sort of alteration with video editing software. The creator of the video might
have edited it, combined several scenes, or applied filters or effects.
Free video editing software is widely available nowadays, but not all of it is worth downloading.
Many applications just don’t deliver on what their creators promise, while other don’t offer any
assistance. Naturally, the majority of freely available software does not come with the same
quantity or calibre of support that you would anticipate to find with software that you buy from a
store. Even though it’s true that you get what you pay for, there is some excellent free video editing
software out there. The most popular ones we have discovered are listed below.
1.1 VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARES
Movie editing tools encompass a range of software, spanning from basic to advanced, serving
diverse purposes like crafting home movies, editing film footage, and producing high-quality
professional videos.
Windows Movie Maker
On September 14, 2000, Windows Me released
Windows Movie Maker, and on October 25, 2001,
Windows XP followed suit. It gave the ability to
produce and edit films as well as publish them on
OneDrive, Facebook, Vimeo, YouTube, Windows
Live Groups, and Flickr. It was a component of the
Windows Essentials software bundle. Although it
was not exactly a feature-rich tool, it worked well
for straightforward tasks like making, editing and
splitting videos.
For Windows 10 and 11, Microsoft has released Video Editor, or Clipchamp.
