I need a free video editing program

Ok, so I use my digital camera to take short clips. And I wanted them to be really funny/cool. I would like to add effects so that in certain parts of the clip, it shows it in slow motion. I would also like for it to play it in reverse. Its sort of hard to explain...

...when you use Quicktime, you can use the arrow keys to move along the video very slowly, when you hold the right arrow key, its in slow motion. When you hold the left arrow key, it goes the opposite way around in slow motion...

I would also like to add music/sounds in-sequence to the video. And maybe add some subtitles or other affects. I need a free program to do this.

-Thank You!

imovie is on your computer and will do what you want it to do.

yes, but (i think i have my story some where on the forums) when i first got my mac my sims 2 wasnt working and it said some thing about disk space so I accidently deleted imovie, garageband, iphoto, and who knows what else.

I still need help (i will buy ilife07, but i need some thing for the mean time)

Search the forums for recovering imovie from the install disks. This has been asked before and I know there is an application to help you with this. I just forget what it is called.

I take it that Apple wouldn't organise a set of discs for you as per the last advice given in your abovementioned earlier thread.

Yes, but, as i mentioned in my story on some other thread, I lost my backup disk and am now looking for a downloadable, free program to edit my movies. At least till iLife 07.

Try this from Avid.

This wont work, I dont have a company or any thing like that.

Fake it. Some of the options are 'UNKNOWN'. You do not have to be a company to get it from what I can tell. You will need a real e-mail address so you can get the key.

So in the terms of service it doesnt say: "If you do not put correct information we will sue you." or, "must be 18 years or older to get demo"
?

You'll have to do further detailed research your self. Start with the FAQ. It clearly states "Anyone can download Avid Free DV".

Hmmm.... "Not enough physical memory to run application"

I dont really know what that means, is that RAM? or hard drive space?

Memory-RAM. Otherwise it would say something like "Not enough disk space".

drat, looks like this program wont work.

What are your machine specs?

I have just downloaded it onto my G4 alu Powerbook with 1G RAM, and it seems to be ok, though I have no footage to test it properly yet.

BTW, thanks for the heads-up, xsetp. I've been trying to find a pro-level free video editor for some time now...I just hope it works.

I have 512mb of ram. 1.42 ghz cpu.

Also, while i'm about this.

Does any one have any good screen recording (as in video, not pictures) soft ware (also free)

Have you searched http://www.macupdate.com ?

I searched this on wikipedia, but did not find out.

What is shareware? Will I get charged for using it? Are there any charge fee risks for using it?

I still need the above question answered, i googled it and everything.

Seriously, you googled "what is shareware" and couldn't find an answer? I call crazy ponies. I googled it and had no problem finding this


Upgrade your RAM to a gig and use the Avid free DV software. It's the best you're gonna get for free since you deleted iMovie.
