Free Video Editing Software Download

Below is a list of what I think are the most useful free video editing software and video related software downloads on the Internet. I only list the links to respective free trial or demo versions. Try them out.

Most video capture cards come with some editing software. So, if you really like the trial or demo versions, I suggest you go to Hardware Guide and look for an appropriate capture card package bundled with the software you want.

For more information about these software, visit Software Reviews.

If you have any suggestions of products you think we should add to this list, please email to us.
