SCREEN RECORDING SOFTWARES
I only use 1 screen recording software, It's called Bandicam. If you pay for it, you get no watermark, HD recording, and recording time for over 24 hours. If you download it for free, it is still quite good, but you have a watermark, and the picture isn't that great, and you can only film for 10 minutes.
FILM MAKING SOFTWARES
As you can see above, the registered version is more better that the unregistered version, and the good thing is that it's not expenisive. See Below :
If you wish to download it for free, click on the "FREE" button, but if you wish to buy it, Click on the "BUY" button.
AUDIO EDITING SOFTWARES
There are a variety audio editing softwares, but the main three I use are called "ACID Music Studio 10.0" (SONY), "Sound Forge Audio Studio" (SONY), and lastly "AUDACITY". The most useful out of the three are AUDACITY and Sund Forge Audio Studio, because those two softwares focus on audio more than music. As for ACID Music Studio 10.0 it focuses on music, and making your own music. See AUDACITY and Sound Forge Audio Studio benefits below :
SOUND FORGE AUDIO STUDIO
As you can see, these two softwares are really helpfull, but there are still many other audio/music softwares. I am only providing a little compared to the amount you can find out there, but if you do download other softwares be careful because if you don't download or buy from the correct site, you could harm your computer.
ACID Music Studio costs : £38.95 (from Sony Creative Software.com) or get it free if you buy "Movie Studio Platinum 13 Suite". Sound Forge Audio Studio costs : £38.95 (from Sony Creative Software.com) or get it free if you buy "Movie Studio Platinum 11". AUDACITY is free!! The prices for the two softwares could change depending on where your buying it, and if there's a discount or not.
Below you can see three buttons, each one will take you to where you can download and buy the three softwares.
EDITING SOFTWARES
There are many, many video editing softwares in the world. Some are great and easy to use, some are amazing but hard to use, but some are not really that good. If your having trouble finding which one to buy or download, this is a good place to look! See below, to find out what software you should get.
WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER
Windows Movie Maker is a great way to start of film making, it is one of the most used video editor's for begginers. It is simple, and you've got a lot or transitions, effects, and the picture is great (depending on what camera you use). The down side, is that you don't have a lot of free will as you do on other video editers, it also isn't available for apple. If you are on windows, it normally is already there on your computer, if not click on the link below, and it will take you to the Windows Movie Maker website, where you can download it.
AVS VIDEO EDITOR
Packed with more than 670 transitions and effects, 46 text options and 34 templates for disc menus, AVS is surprisingly simple to use and customize. Users need only drag and drop the desired effect into place. Editing videos is quick and easy, and AVS supports multiple formats, such as HD, MPEG, AVI, WMV, QuickTime, Adobe Flash, mobile video, Real Networks and WebM files.
AVS Video Editor does come at a price though, but you can still get it for free. If you get the free version, you have to have a watermark popping up in your video, but besides from that, everything is great.
