Hey everyone :)

I am an avid video editor I actually spend most of my time on the computer doing video editing rather then themeing believe it or not :)

I have been using the same software for quite a long time and now just before I was going to do some Christmas stuff for family and friends I thought let's see what other kind of software is out there since I had not looked for so long I normally use TMPGenc to do most of my editing needs and Sony Vegas pro as well a number of other small apps too.

Well I just found a killer Video editing application that works on all platforms Mac, Linux and Windows it comes in a 64 bit version only and it's also free dammmmm lol

This can do everything I do with many of my video editing apps all in one it's simple to use they have great tutorials that are easy the interface is great and easy it is fantastic :)

Does it convert movies and videos to different formats?

I do a lot of video conversion with older video formats to .mp4 from .wmv/.avi/.mpeg to get a smaller file size while keeping or increasing quality

Sure does bud have a watch of that tut vid I posted shows you all of that. You can tweak the output formats as well for your own custom settings and save them say like you want to output to avi, you can tweak the avi settings to your liking if you want and save the custom profiles, or just use the standard settings. :)

Thanks for this, razorsedge (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/148478-razorsedge) interesting how it acts like a portable install if you download it from their website (on linux), seems better than the "buggy" kdenlive.

Well were did you find this little gem?
I'll definitely try this one out, I've been using Camtasia's video editor and it just sucks.
Been looking for some free alternatives and this one looks good so far.
Thanks for the share mate :smile:
