    FileLab is a freeware video editing program for just about all platforms (Mac, PC, etc...). It runs in your browser so no download or install is required. It has many transition and video effects, very good title editor, and customized color correction to include brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and gamma.

    There's several editors you can use....

    Take a look at the tutorials for Windows Movie Maker at

    http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/Tutorials/ - it may be WMM is all you need. It really is foolproof except that it's picky in what file formats it takes and the lack of native support for multiple video and audio tracks are a definite disadvantage (but there are workarounds).

    The version 2 series were probably the most versatile, you can find them here - http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/windows-movie... - but you'll have problems installing the older versions on Windows 7. Windows Live Movie Maker is still good, but not so versatile.

    Other free video editors are...

    Wax - http://www.debugmode.com/wax/ - this is also a compositor - a bit like Adobe's After Effects - - unlimited video and audio tracks

    VideoLAN Movie Creator - http://videolan.org/vlmc/ - up to 64 audio and video tracks

    TrakAxPC - www.trakax.com/software/pc/

    VideoSpin - http://videospin.com/ - just 1 video track so you may as well use WMM

    VideoPad - the free version - http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/

    Lightworks - http://www.lightworksbeta.com/ - I like this one - unlimited tracks ?

    Serif MoviePlus - http://serif.com/free-video-editing-software/ - unlimited tracks ?

    Ezvid - ezvid.com/ - 32 video and audio tracks

    Another is Zwei-Stein. This is a good editor but I found the interface to be absolutely horrible.

    VirtualDub, RAD Video tools, AVITricks and Avidemux are also good tools you should look at. Although not full editors like the others they have some useful features.

    Lightworks and Wax together are a very good video editing system for free.

    All are safe, at least from the sites I've linked to.

    If you want to spend some money then there are reviews of 14 video editors under $100 at http://video-editing-software-review.toptenreviews...

    More costly are video editors like Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere. Both of which are very good. Premiere is probably more advanced but harder to learn everything it can do.

    Well there are none which are completely free. But you can get a good program called Camtasia studio 8 which can easily be cracked on youtube if u follow a tutorial!
