Movie Editing Software?

Frinavale

I took a video on the weekend of a war re-enactment with my new camera. It turned out to be 900MB and since I was taking pictures at the same time there's points where the video freezes and you can hear the camera taking the picture.

I've learned a lot just doing this one video.

Anyways, I'd really like to chop out the good stuff and make smaller files that I can post online.

Does anyone know some free movie editing software that I'd be able to edit this massive and raw .avi file?

Is Windows Movie Maker no good for your purposes?

FFmpeg is a command line tool that can do basic editing (cutting, letterboxing, resizing) as well as full trans coding. Perhaps you could use this to get your videos in a compatible format to work with in Windows Movie Maker.

I have some software (written in Delphi 5) which has been working for several months without a problem.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
