1. Microsoft Movie Maker

Windows Movie Maker usually comes along with your Windows. It is one of the most simplest video editing software that I have ever used, specially the one that came out with Windows Vista because it includes lots of new editing features in it. Not only  you can access the commands for common tasks quickly by using the toolbars but you can also capture, edit and produce your favorite video using this tool very easily. In Windows Xp Movie Maker has drag and drop features to create and edit movies easier. Microsoft has many add-ons for this software, and upgrades are available through the website. This is one of the easiest free video editing software programs available.

2. Wax

Wax is a high performance and flexible video editing software. It started out as a college project, and has since grown. Wax is good for both home users and professionals. It can be used as a stand-alone application, or as a plug-in to other video editors. The software also features unlimited video and audio tracks with top-down composition.It has following features

• Use graphics acceleration available with your video card for creating mind-boggling effects in realtime or near-realtime.

3. Apple iMovie

Apple iMovie is comparable to Windows Movie Maker, but it is used on the Mac operating system. Although it has many advanced features and add-ons but unfortunately it is only free if you buy a new MAC system. If you want the software without buying the system, it is available for purchase. iMovie supports standard and high definition (HD) video, as well as the most popular video formats, including DV, HDV, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Major new features and enhancements compared to iMovie 3 and its predecessors:

• Direct trimming of video and audio clips in the timeline.
• Snapping sync for video and audio, audio waveforms and listening to audio while scrubbing.
• Multiple clip selection, direct import from iSight.

4. Vivia-The Video Editor

Vivia is a video editing program for Linux and Windows. It provides extremely easy editing of clips and transitions in real-time, along with multi-camera support for editing scenes that were recorded by more than one camera simultaneously. One of the most interesting feature of vivia is that it has crash recovery. I can’t tell you how many times you freak out over a crashed application that doesn’t save your work. It also does real-time changes when edited so you can see the results right away. I would certainly like to see more formats supported, but the overall interface is great and is quite easy to understand.

5. Blender

Blender is a widely used open source application for 3D modeling and animation. Perhaps not so well known feature of blender is its ability to edit video and audio, thanks to its sequence editor. In fact, it is a full blown non-linear editing module, which allows to apply numerous effects, as well as doing simple tasks as blending clips together, adding transitions, etc.
I have been using it recently to do some basic video editing, and I think it keeps up quite well in comparison with other, more “professional”, video editing tools. Since blender has its own unique interface, which doesn’t follow the conventions adopted by other programs (it is heavily optimized for a keystroke-oriented workflow), it might be a little bit difficult at the beginning, but once you learn the basic elements of the interface, is in fact very intuitive.
