    Hello! Recently my friend and I have started a YouTube channel, called Madam Skip! (Search for it :p)

    Anyways, all I have at the moment is Windows Movie Maker, which is alright, but it's not that good. ;/ One of the worst parts on it is that you can't copy the audio, so I can't go edit that in Audacity... :(

    Anyways, I am looking for a somewhat simple program that is free. However, I may *cough* download a safe pirated version of something high quality.


    +rep available ;)

    Pull your clip to the AUDIO section on the timeline and voila it's converted into just the audio. Render the project as High Quality Audio and there you go :)

    Other than that, you can find some really good pirated versions of Adobe Premier online. Premier has a relatively easy to use interface and it's definitely the best program you can find.

    It depends on what operating system you have, because if you have Vista, the only good video editing software that's compatible with Vista are Vegas Pro 8, and Ulead Videostudio 11. Adobe Premiere might work, but it might be a little unstable. I also recommend Avid, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe After Effects, but all of those aren't compatible with Vista.

    You're kidding me right? Where did you hear that this isn't compatible with Vista...First of all, CS3 was released after Vista was and it is FULLY compatible with Vista so Premiere and After Effects will work 100% garaunteed. As for Final Cut Pro, of course it won't. It's a mac only application.

    After affects, Sony Vegas, and Final cut pro are pretty much the standards in video editing.

    You mean Premiere Pro. After effects isn't really an editing program as much as it is a graphics design program for videos.

    Yeah, they're commonly mistaken because they're used together :)
