Top 2: Avidemux (for Windows)

For those people who only used Windows Movie Maker for basic video editing tasks, Avidemux is well worth a look. It doesnt offer a fancy interface or direct sharing to social media, but if you take a little time to peruse its menus, youll find its surprisingly capable. Avidemux offers preset profiles for different output devices, video and audio filters, fades, subtitles, and lots of customizable encoding options.

The main downside of Avidemux is that you cant join videos together with different heights or widths. This wont matter if your footage are shot with the same smartphone or screen tool, but can be inconvenient if your media come from different sources.

Most of the features you need for your project are under the Editor tab. This includes various filters, video effects, audio effects, add music, trim videos, and add text or subtitles. One thing that's really nice about VSDC is that it's easy to shift the point at which your music track starts. So if you want it to start a few seconds after the video is running, you just have to click and drag the bar representing the audio file.

Once you've got your project set-up the way you like it, head over to the Export project tab where you can easily export it using a specific video format, as well as modify the resolution for specific screen sizes such as the PC, iPhone, Web, DVD, and so on.

VSDC lacks the in-app uploads for various web services so you'll have to do that the old fashioned way: through each website's manual upload system.

Top 4: VirtualDub

Your files can even be extended using third-party video filters and it supports batch processing which means it is possible to handle multiple videos at the same time. Unfortunately, even with its friendly interface, this program can be a little difficult to understand for beginners.

Top 5: VideoPad Video Editor
