Free Video Editing Software
If you came here for free copies of commercial programs
and/or hacks/product keys then we are sorry to disappoint you.
We do not approve of, or promote, such practices.
This page is a collection of genuinely free video editing
software packages, some shareware packages, trial versions of
otherwise commercial digital video editing software programs, a
little Linux link for those Penguin fans who want to dabble, and
the Apple Mac iMovie fans.
