Hi, you can use any one of the software's like Ulead video studio, Pinnacle Studio, Windows Movie Maker, sony vegas,etc. On Windows, there are some free apps too, that will probably be a bit more user-friendly than Linux software. On Linux, all solutions are free, but aren't as user-friendly. However, these are expensive, so check out this page for free alternatives: īottom line, if you're on a Mac, you have the best consumer editing software for free, or you can buy the best pro editing software for a VERY cheap price. Also, Adobe has a program called Premier which is also used in Hollywood, though not as much as Final Cut. On Windows, I know that Sony's Vegas editing program is held in high esteem. You can even buy the apps in the studio separately if you don't have the money straight away. That was a bargain, since one of the apps in the studio, Color, used to cost $25,000 before Apple bought it out. In fact, up until recently, Final Cut Studio used to cost $999. This is what the majority of Hollywood uses basically.
You can also buy Final Cut Pro X for only $299, if you have Snow Leopard. It is THE best consumer video editing program for any OS. If you're on a Mac, Apple's iMovie is bundled free with every Mac purchase.
