Windows Live Movie Maker pretty much lets you do all the basic stuff like that with relative ease and comes installed on most computers these days. Yuki ---

Windows movie maker will work just fine for what you want to do. I’ve used it before, and like every said, it’s good for the basics. I have sony vegas pro now though, and it’s beyond awesome. ---

I use Camtasia Studio 8, it’s actually very very easy to use! you can easily add music text and transition effects, and way much more that I don’t know how to use xD and It’s free if you know where to look 😛 if you don’t, PM me i’ll be glad to guide you. EDIT: If you want, send me your video I’d be me more than glad to edit it for you! 😃 (I’m done school, so might as well make use of my time) haha ---

If you can get access to a Mac, iMovie is usually pre-installed and therefore free. It’s a great editing software that is user-friendly and capable enough to make yoyo videos with ease. ---

I use Corel VideoStudio X5. It’s… OK. Better than Windows Movie Maker. There are things I don’t like about it, but at the end of the day I can do things like make my 60p video into 30fps for smooth slo-mo, I can add cross-fades, I can put music or voiceovers, and I can add titles. There are a tonne of other effects and some other transitions, but they’re mostly cheesy so I don’t bother with those. :wink: ---

I started using [Lightworks](http://www.lwks.com/) today for a modding video that I’m working on. There is a free version that doesn’t seem particularly cut down from the professional version, especially for what yo-yoers are doing. All you have to do is register your download, which only took me five minutes. I haven’t done much yet, so I’ll report back later about how things are going. EDIT: Lightworks has a pretty steep learning curve. ---

And the price isn’t far removed from the Corel offering. The free version doesn’t have MP4 support included, which is the only bummer. I like MP4 for YouTube upload, although YouTube will support other formats. Still, for FREE, I’mma check this out, too! ---

> [@GregP](#): > > The free version doesn’t have MP4 support included, which is the only bummer. It would seem that you can get around some of the supported format issues by using [eyeframe](http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=30817&Itemid=81). The other nice thing about Lightworks is that it is fully cross platform (supports Windows, OS X, and Linux). ---
