I'd like to change this list such that it distinguishes between softwares that are just encoders and those that can actually be used for non-linear video editing. I'm gonna go ahead and start on that. Others are welcome to make changes and/or discuss it more here... Blackcats 03:04, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
There should clearly be 2 distinct list / page. One for editing software and one for encoder. These are very different in purpose and usage. --Videoqualia (talk) 18:45, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Is mencoder not much more than an encoder? I mean, it has cutlist and pipe support and can therefore do much more than just encoding. It can in principle do everything one might ever need when editing videos (although it might be to clumsy to work on the command line). 140.78.111.41 (talk) 12:08, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
shouldn't it be the "Vegas Family" or just "Vegas" instead of explicitly mentioning "Sony Vegas MovieStudio+DVD" (the low-end version of the Vegas programs)?
Why not include the Zwei Stein video editor in the free non-linear software section?
Danylstrype (talk) 12:08, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Why not include SUPER © from http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html It's one of the best video conversion tools I've come across. --Dave 15:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
You might also consider adding HandBrake from http://handbrake.fr/, a utility for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. It's one of my favorites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.125.233.45 (talk) 20:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
I don't believe Blender is a video editing program in the sense the rest of these are. Blender focuses on 3d rendering. Any thoughts?

There are a LOT of other programs on the NLE lists that either are not for editing at all (Wax) or which are currently unusable for editing (Jahshaka). Someone should do a clean-up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.253.229.77 (talk) 21:18, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Blender has a sequencer (video editor) built in (see [1] and following pages). It is not as usable as a dedicated Non Linear Editor such as Cinellera, but it does work. m.e. (talk) 04:16, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
I totally agree - Blender is a great program but does not belong in this section and shows a lack of technical moderation. I have used Povray for creating technical animations \ Movies since 1996 but it's not a video editor. Clock+ does not make Povray a video editor. Please can we have some contributions from people that actually have more than a passing interest in this subject or is the article just a big advert ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.59.247 (talk) 22:58, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

I suggest the removal of the AviTricks from the "Freeware" subtitle because the sofware is not free. The so called "freeware" is a 30 day trial version.
Tried it, lasted less than an hour on my hard drive before being deleted. Difficult and non-intuitive user interface, I was required to watch a video in order to achieve even the simplest tasks. It's obvious the lady from the video has no ideea what is she reading.
(Generally speaking I found the video helps very difficult to watch, you lack the liberty to navigate quickly back and forth to make the necessary links between different fragments of information. Probably a video help may be good for illiterates but I'm wondering if an illiterate person can, or is willing, to use a computer.)
I managed to trim successfully the begining of a video but I failed to do the same with the end of it. Was it my fault or the fault of the software, I can't say for sure.
What made me to give up quickly, was a message box. Trying all kinds of features, at a moment I received a message telling me that I'm using a debugger and the execution ended abruptly saving nothing from my work.
Whether I use a debugger or not it's only my business. I will not tollerate a software wendor to tell me what other software can I have on my computer. The computer is my property not his. Actually, because I'm a programmer, I have the Microsoft Visual Studio installed and that comes with a debugger. I'm not going to uninstall it and change my profession just to run that "precious" software.
It seems Videothang is free to download, but I cannot find the source code anywhere. I suggest we move it to the closed-source freeware section unless someone can show otherwise. I'll check back in a week or so. --Lengau (talk) 14:30, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
ZS4 is also not open-source, so I have moved it to the closed-source free section. I have only looked at this and Videothang so far, but I suspect a lot of the apps in the open source section are not actually open source. My minimum criteria for open source is that firstly, you can obtain the source just as easily as you can obtain the software, and the secondly, you have a license to modify the software and redistribute it yourself. The ones I've checked sofar satisfy neither. mmj (talk) 04:52, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
The info I need is about user freindlyness, freeware, quality. This is the most disapointing article I have read so far.. kr Finn Bjerke —Preceding unsigned comment added by Finn Bjerke (talk • contribs) 03:17, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Is it really a non-linear editing program? There's already this debate about it. -79.176.117.112 (talk) 09:53, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
It is definitely not a non-linear editing program, but it does have a place under video conversion and encoding. 70.119.44.175 (talk) 03:27, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't ifxAnt and Piranha Cinema be added? Anyone have any info about them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.119.44.175 (talk) 03:21, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
I've been using a really neat video splitter from www.solveigmm.com - I'm not techie enough to know where it could be listed, but it would be nice to see it included.Tony Senex (talk) 20:11, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Does AsfBin belong in this article? Freeware for personal use. Description from the home page, first link below:
"AsfBin is a command line utility for cutting out fragments, joining, editing and repairing ASF files. AsfBin can be applied to any ASF file, that is, not only to those with ASF extension but also those with WMV and WMA extensions. Precision, speed and the maximum fidelity was my top priorities in design of the AsfBin software. Not to mention, of course, reliability of this tool.
The whole operation is performed without recompression of the whole file. On a user demand, only a couple of first samples may be recompressed to give the ultimate precision in cutting. Because of that, the video quality is not degraded and the resulting file remains as unchanged as possible."

Why would ArcSoft ShowBiz be showing as discontinued in the list, when it is still available? Maybe because it is called ShowBiz DVD 2, and there was originally one just called Showbiz?? Just a guess. When you link to the Wiki page on it, there is nothing about being discontinued, and the link to the company takes you right to the ShowBiz DVD 2 page, where you can buy it. 157.142.237.137 (talk) 18:11, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
The basis for software inclusion in the list appears to be based on a personal bias and not related to any historic or factual knowledge. Some of the listed projects are dead and have been for years. If you follow the current published links to SourceForge you get this : "It's dead. No traffic on the openlibraries dev list since april 09. No news. No nothing.

(Please check this BEFORE just moderating this and deleteting this post)
The above is documented - visibly and publicly available and had any care been taken over the Wiki content would be have been discovered many years ago.
According to sourceForge some projects listed that started in 2001 have less than 200 worldwide followers. I downloaded the source and it just plain does not work. Has the moderator got any technical knowledge but more importantly have they even checked what they publish.
Please find a moderator for this article who will at least do their (minimal) homework or at least check the links every 3 years. As much as I hate to criticize Wiki you get a fairer opinion from Cnet\Download.Com where real people download and use real software. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.59.247 (talk) 22:40, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia has articles about seven of the items on this list of '10 best free video editing software' for 2013. The three missing an article are:
MPEG Streamclip, Free Video Dub, & Freemake Video Converter from that list have a Wikipedia page, but are not mentioned on this Wikipedia list. John Vandenberg (chat) 12:36, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
Kaltura is a server-side package that can be used for setting up a web-based video platform, under the terms of GNU AGPL [1]. Since a Kaltura server can be used for a number of video-editing functions [2], would it be an appropriate addition to the "free and open source" section? Or is this page only for client-side editing applications? Danylstrype (talk) 07:28, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Is there a reason that FFmpeg is not on this list?
I don't know if it does "non-linear editing", which is a requirement according to the second sentence in this article -- but is not mentioned in the title.
I think it belongs for a couple of reasons:
It's listed in the Wikipedia article on List of free and open-source software packages as a "Video converter", but I've used it to trim both ends off of a video file as well as converting to WebM. I believe it can do lots more, but I don't know it well enough to discuss that.
I plan to add ffmpeg to this list.

I want to suggest we add Shotstack to the Proprietary (commercial) list. It's a non-linear editor that hosted in the cloud. Not sure how we'd add that in? Summer2301 (talk) 04:27, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
I'm not very knowledgeable on the distinction between video editing software and others, but I do think WonderShare's Filmora would fit in the list. Is is now as powerful as some others but I can do everything Windows Movie Maker, who is in the list, was doing and more. 66.131.97.175 (talk) 15:17, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
