Years ago, video editing was restricted to those with high-end computers, and was a cumbersome, problem-riddled task, filled with dropped frames, out of sync audio, and other headaches. Some of us even attempted to edit video without a computer. I remember the days of trying to splice together a family video, using dubbed VCR’s.

In addition to the software to edit video, there are other free programs that are worth carrying in your arsenal. Here are four handy ones, which are Windows-only unless otherwise noted.
