for recommendations on basic video editing software,if anyone has any, please.

my budget is very low, however.

For Windows or Mac? If Mac, iMovie is free and very good. If Windows, I don't know.

This site says Movie Maker for Windows:

6 Best Free Video Editing Software Programs for 2023

(If it's still around, that's an old post I just noticed)

it is:

Get Movie Maker - Video Editor from the Microsoft St...

thx! Will give it a shot (because, yes, Windows.)

I just noticed awful reviews of it. Good luck

Looks like those bad reviews are about price, and the store labels it free, so I'm sure the store is right. Give it a go.

no...you can't save a file without coughing up money, so it isn't free at all!

Arbieroo : that sucks. Sorry.

it's almost negligably cheap; don't worry.

they replied saying Blender and Kdenlive are options, but doesn't see it. Perhaps it was when the internet was doing not nice things and going down pretty frequently (why do we have electrical and communication cables through the air?)

JigmeDatse : because it's cheap.

take a look at Blender and Kdenlive.

Arbieroo : Both are free, and you wouldn't need to pay for "features". Though there are paid features that you can pay for. They're just entirely separate, and often not doing anything that isn't relatively possible with the existing software (well some of the Blender Render Engines are much better for some things).

But may take a bit to learn... Which is why it's sort of ... "With caution" which I failed to say previously...

ok, I'll bear that in mind.
