VideoSpin

VideoSpin is a Windows-based video editing tool that is completely free and that is much better than Windows Movie Maker! It’s actually a product from Pinnacle, a leader in video editing software packages. So how is it better? Here are a couple of the features that you might like:

• Mix videos, photos and music together by dragging and dropping
• Choose from a large number of titles and transitions
• Easily upload your video to the web in a snap!
• Directly upload your video to YouTube and Flash support

There are also other nice features that you can usually only find in commerical video editing software, such as the ability to create scrolling titles and the ability to export your movie into flash format.

VideoSpin supports a multitude of formats for importing video into the editor including the following:

Video: (.avi, mpg, .mpeg, .mod, .mp2, .mp4, .wmv)

• AVI (DV AVI)
• MJPEG
• MPEG-1
• MPEG-2 (optional) MPEG-4 (optional)
• DivX (optional)
• WMV

Audio: (.Wav, .mp3, .mpa, .m4a, .wma, .AVI)

• Dolby 2ch (optional)
• MPEG-1 Layer 2
• MP3 Audio

You can use VideoSpin for other tasks other than video editing also. For example, you could import a video into VideoSpin and then extract the audio from the video file and save it as an MP3. You can also import a video in AVI format and export it out to MPEG4 format, thereby making VideoSpin into a video conversion utility.

The only thing that VideoSpin does not include is a way to capture video directly from a video device, such as a camcorder. It can only import video directly from your hard drive, a CD, DVD, or USB stick.

Overall, VideoSpin is an excellent video editing software application. It has lots of transitions to choose from, the ability to add text on your videos, and easy incorporation of audio and images into your video.
