Best Free Video Editors and Alternatives to Windows Movie Maker
Many times we need a good video editing software or movie maker tool to create a home movie or edit our existing videos. Although Windows comes with built-in Windows Movie Maker application but it provides very limited features.
Today in this topic, we are going to put together the best free video editors and movie making software which provide lots of professional features and can be used as an alternative to Windows Movie Maker as well.

Almost all these software support Windows XP, Vista and 7 and some of them even support Linux and Mac OS as well.
So without wasting time, lets list them:
- Windows Live Movie Maker
- VirtualDub
- Wax
- AVS Video Editor
- AVI Trimmer
- Lightworks (Thanks Vincent)
- Free Video Converter (Thanks Olivier)
Please give them a try and let us know which one do you like the most and why?
@VG You can use PowerDirector 11 to edit movies.
Windows Live movie maker (old version) is no longer available, at least I can’t download it. Something else downloads instead!!!
Is there an alternative to Windows Live? One that operates/works in the same easy basic way please?
Thank you for your time.

# Free Video Converter (Thanks Olivier)
is a F!## downloader and is does not work…
Windows Movie Maker is not available on Windows 10 anymore and personally, I like freemake and hd video converter factory because I’m a novice on video editing and all I need is some basic editing features like cutting and merging. A straightforward program is the best!
VG-
None of the video editing apps you have suggested are available. Can you suggest something else?
^^ I checked and all apps are available for download.
My favorite software for video editing is “Shotcut”, it’s free and open source video editor, only video editor that properly support older hardware configuration, also support audio editing, my according there is no better answer of Shotcut video editor if compares in free category.
