Video editing program

[SShrike]

Can anyone recommend a free, simple video editing software to simply trim and splice videos. The windows editor limits the fps to 30 after trimming. I am just looking for something basic. Thanks.

From memory, OBS Studio and Blender.
I don't get time to do much with them, but they worked for me.

Cheers

Shotcut.

I had the same question 3 days ago. I watched this video and decided to try Da Vinci Resolver 17. It's very easy and powerful. The vide has also other options with simpler programs.

+1 for DaVinci Resolve.

 

It can look intimidating but there are plenty of tutorials on YT to achieve whatever you want to do 

 

It's very powerful and free.

DaVinci Resolve... another vote for that. Free with professional features.

Windows Movie Maker, you can download it from old Windows Essentials packs.

No. It’s terrible. It lacks all refinement and once it’s been compressed and uploaded it looks like your movie has been run over?

You can actually edit the replay tracks in the game itself. Just select Edit and then it will remove any part of the replay when you are paused to change views or scroll back and forward.

+1 for DaVinci Resolve. As has been mentioned above, it looks intimidating but is actually easy to use with a YouTube tutorial or two. I checked out all the main names and that's the one I've settled, although admittedly for more than just slicing & dicing.

Those are all the videos I needed to start using Da Vinci Resolve. It teaches how to merge different video segments (cutting) and creating transitions. In literally 40 minutes you will learn how to use it.

 

My advice is to start with the Da Vince beacuse if you need some advanced feature in the future you will save a lot of time by not spending not even a minute learning a whole new program just to have access to it. Da Vince will probably have everything you would ever need. It is worth the time investiment.

I can't for the life of me understand how this works. Pressing "Edit" seems pretty much the same as pressing Load. What changes in this mode?!

Yes, agree. Not sure what, if anything this does.

[VA_Kamicosmos]

DaVinci Resolve for me as well.  Works so much better than pretty much any of the other free ones out there.

I’ve only used it once or twice but I recall it worked like this; I assume you are wanting to change to different camera angles, so while playing back the track, just pause, change the angle or view and unpause etc. when you save it the parts where you are paused and changing angles or setting up a view are eliminated. It would not work for combining tracks from different sessions. But it worked for something simple like the above. Basically it eliminates the parts of the replay where you pause.

I see no option to save anywhere. That's the main point.

There should be a “save” or “finish” button. I can’t quite recall but I don’t imagine this has changed over the years. I’m away from the game right now otherwise I could just check myself.

There's a "Finish Spectate", oddly, but it seems to do nothing.

Yeah looks like this feature doesn’t work anymore. That’s what it used to do.
