This software is usually $149 (although i doubt anyone buys it for that), and well, it's free.  I dinked around with the trial once a couple of years ago and put it aside because i already have editing and compositing software.  If you need a good entry level video editor wit hsome cool effects, you can do a lot worse than this for free: https://hitfilm.com/express/free

FYI this offer expires feb 4th

It looks like it's worth a shot. Thanks for the link!

I just installed and have to say this is by far the best video freebie ever.  This is easily as powerful as vegas movie studio and Adobe Premiere Elements and has features that neither has.  As good as the Vegas sales posted are, this is by far a better deal.

Thanks Dub!

Always nice to get a high quality freebie. Thank you, dubdisciple.

Also integrates with Vegas Pro, if you bought that deal. Not working on my system for whatever reason, but it installs a plugin and you can just send video off to Hitfilm to composite in effects and then work on it again in the Vegas timeline.
 
Also note it is really whiny if you don't have Quicktime installed. Runs, but whines :)

Why not? It's free.
 
Thanks dub.

deselecting File > Options > General "Show warning if Quicktime is not installed" will stop that whine
 
and thanks

Now i only have about 5000 more great buys/freebies to catch up with larry

Thanks Dubdisciple.
 
Initial impression, the editing features are better than Corel VideoStudio.
 
Still waiting for the Sony Vegas to be delivered.
