Hey guys, I just got back from a trip to the Galapagos for diving and I took a lot of underwater video, many of the shots are great but there are spots in the middle or end and sometimes beginning where the surge catches me and the camera is facing rocks or I forgot to turn it off (button was a little sticky in the underwater case) and I'd like to clean these up.
I only have PC's at home and I am just curious if anyone has experience using a free tool out there... if not I can always do a search at majorgeeks or the like and pick one of the highest rated ones, but was looking for some personal experience opinions first.
If I absolutely must have a pay to use program as nothing free is any good, I will find a way - so if you highly reccomend a paid program let me know, prefer to use a free one though
IT's been a few years since I played with any kind of video encoding and editing stuff, but I always remembered http://www.videohelp.com/ being really helpful. Has a ton of guides and all the links to the software (many being free). I have no exact recommendations, but a peak @ that site may help you out.
It doesn't sound like he wants to do a lot of videos. He just wants to clean up the videos he has in terms of what seems to be just cutting out stuff that he didn't intend to record.
I don't know having a more powerful video editing program will make that a better process for him.

Color correcting, higher quality video transitions, better audio, video layering, third party plug-in compatibility... It's just the tip of the editing iceberg!
How do you know? He might just catch the editing bug and shoot more stuff!
