Free Stuff: Making Movies for Nothing

Well, I’ve now come to the Encoders and Converters section of software to put into the new chapter format. After studying these programs, many of them are hybrid video converter/editors. You’ve heard of them: VirtualDub, Avidemux, MPEG Streamclip, AVIedit, AVI Trimmer, etc. These programs can’t really edit the same as Final Cut Pro, but they are not simply converters, like MediaCoder. They can edit, in a way.

I coined a new term for these things, a “ConvEditor” or maybe just “Conveditor”.  Maybe this will be a revolutionary new term, starting with little, ol’ me. LOL These programs seem to be everywhere. People actually try to use them for video editing. I know, it’s laughable. I even found what seems to be a popular site that sells VirtualDub on a CD-ROM(?) as the World’s Best Free Video Editor. What a ripoff! I hope few people get suckered into that one.

I also found an old site that sells a manual highlighting all the free software at the beginning of the Nineties. Come on, people. If it’s free software, shouldn’t the reviews/links/info/etc. be free as well? Take this blog for instance…

Section 6 - Converters and “Conveditors” - COMING SOON!!

P.S. I got CamStudio to work, so the Jahshaka tutorials will also be coming soon!
