What do people use to edit race vids? I only want to cut out the dull stuff, join bits together and add a caption page at the beginning.

Vid editing programs always seems inexplicable to me! I used to use windows movie maker, but the version that works on Win 10 seems a mess!

Tks

PS Fortunately my driving is a little better than my vid editing, but it's a close call biggrin

Sadly, it's not the same one as the well-loved original from Vista/Win7 frown

In fact it's horrid!!

You can still install movie maker in w10 - it's just not included by default. Search for Windows Live Essentials.

Well as it happens, I thought I should get around to trying some of the suggestions and see what I like.

I started with AVS yesterday as suggested by Fishy Dave. I made a vid, it was ok. I struggled a bit to get opening titles on a blank blue page, so ended up overlaying them on the vid at the start of the race. Need to work on that.

Youtube is a good suggestion other than you have to upload all the vids. They can be whoppas, especially the gopro ones.

How do you get the title to play before the video starts Dave?

Had a go at that Dave. When I go to produce it looks like it's going to create the full vid, but in fact finishes when it has got through the title. I'm still playing with the un-payed for version, I'm wondering if that's it? Or is there something else to do to join the title to the video before producing do you know?

Thanks
Bert

Solved this one. It was an AVS software issue which I found out about on the forum that was preventing the processing of MOV files.
The software works well (now!).
