I monitor Twitter for various trends, I like the fact that "the cloud" as it were has so many answers and also so many questions to solve. One of the most common complaints I hear from people in regards to video editin is why is the software so expensive, how can I get free video editing software?
I am not about to go into the hows and whys of why software cost so much or the morality of using downloaded/pirated software. I will say that I do use legit software but have had the privellege to have been given a significant amount of free software by manufacturers to test and learn for training or sales roles I have held. Personally at home I use Adobe Premiere, switching recently after about 4 years of Avid Liquid in all its various guises. Ialso use and recceomend the "Studio" suite by Pinnacle, its is a low cost easy to use editor, I saw it being sold for $AU200 recently but I am sure you can get it better than that. I have though recently found a free MPG/video editor for windows users.
