There is this video contest that I would like to join. In order to have a high quality video result, I would then need to use the best home video software that I could find. They would use the winning entry on their homepage.

Win 7 is the operating system of my pc. I saw some of the videos submitted of the contestants and I must say that a lot of them did a great job. Aside from the high quality video, their audio is very clear too. Their entries are like made by a professional.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

If you are not familiar with other kind of advanced video editors, the basic video editor is Windows Movie Maker which will default comes with your Windows operating system.

Video editing software is also called as NLE (Non Linear Editing). It handles basically the composition of video sequences.  Almost all of the Video editing software based on a timeline interface. Then the sections of moving images of the video record, what we called clip, are laid out in a sequence and played back.

These software’s offer number of common tools such like trimming, cutting, splicing. etc and arrange clips across the timeline. And also they are able to color manipulate, visual effects, titling, editing and mixing audio with combining the video.

After completing the NLE project you can then export the movie in variety of formats in for home DVD/VCD, internet, home theater and mobile devices. etc.

There are commercial products as well as free and open source products. You can choose either of them. Here are the popular ones.
