I kind of stumbled across this video editing software, which is open source, ie. free, and installed it.
I haven't done much with it so far, just taken a look at it.
Apparently it was used for editing 'The King's Speech' and some other films.
I've installed it on 32 bit Windows and 64 bit Windows, not sure if it will run on 64 bit as I get an error message when I try to install it on this machine.
Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else was interested in giving it a try.
Yes, we know about it. There was a time when LightWorks was at the very top of the editing tree, but it was always very expensive. They lived on that reputation for too long, and were overtaken by everyone else. So rather than update it, they've gone public with very good, but old software. The competition, meanwhile, has moved on.
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree that Lightworks is "very good but old" software.
The publically available beta
http://www.lightworksbeta.com/
has a pretty advanced feature set which matches most current NLEs.
I never used Lightworks before, but I've been using the beta (On Win7x64) as much as time allows on personal projects, just to evaluate it, and I'm pretty impressed.
The fact that it'll be available for Linux means that one could, effectively, have a fully featured NLE and OS for free.
