Danger-Mouse Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I have a video I'm looking to cut into chunks and add a voice over/commentary to. Can anyone recommend some (ideally free) software that's fairly easy to use to accomplish my goals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopylui Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I think theres something on Apple devices??? Most free software covers the content in watermarks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I have just been getting into this, depends on what video you are wanting to edit the higher the quality the more time it will take to edit. i have a 4k camera on my drone, .i had to go out and buy another faster computer, as the rendering time was very slow.

Danger-Mouse Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Cheers, but I don't do Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not massively high quality. The video is 1 hour 45 minutes long and size is only 163MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayden Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I use the GoPro free software, find it quite good and easy to use. Hayden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Not massively high quality. The video is 1 hour 45 minutes long and size is only 163MB. What the hell did you film that on?? I regularly edit shooting videos that end up being 3-5mins in length and they're nearly double that size using a Contour action camera. I don't even think I use in in 1080p so the files are easier to deal with and the 720p gives a better aspect ratio for what I'm filming. Windows Movie Maker is free and pretty easy to use. I only stopped using it when I switched to a camera that saves in .MOV files and at the time they weren't supported by WMM, but I think that's changed now. I currently use Iskysoft, I think it was $20 or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Cheers for all the replies guys. What the hell did you film that on?? I didn't film it so I can't tell you. It's only a video of an online poker tournament so it's not like you need amazing definition to make it watchable. As the screenshot shows, the quality is more than good enough for purpose.
