My recording software has updated and my cp isn't able to use it anymore for some odd reason... This is sadly the end of my video making till I am able to find more software. BUT I will do streams instead and do giveaways and such to help you guys out. Going to start one now so go check me out at: http://www.twitch.tv/ohmrskittykat (will be live in 5 minutes from the time of this post)
You're on windows right? Lightworks is a great, freemium, NLE for both simple and pro work. I personally use Premiere Pro as much as possible (I don't like Avid, and I am lax about FCP), but I have a friend who uses Lightworks and loves it. I also have been hearing some interesting things about VideoLan Movie Creator, a donation supported NLE.
