Video editing

Post by Wapiti » 15 Aug 2026, 7:59 am

Hi all,
Does anyone have any video-editing programmes of downloads that they could recommend to stich multiple small videos together, and being able to "voiceover", for bunging in YouTube?

My wife and I have two businesses to run at once, so during the week we are 100km apart.
I take videos on GoPro or when running around, or when doing animal stuff. And being able to post them up on YouTube for viewing by the Mrs or by people with site permission. Maybe one day, public, but that's just a matter of YouTube setting from what it looks like.

Does anyone have any recommendations of simple programs?
I realise this isn't firearm related so maybe I'm asking a strange question from a gun forum.

I've made some basic videos using "Windows Live Movie Maker", which is pretty ancient (2011) but came free with windows 7. Works fine for editing clips together from scopes, spotters and phones etc, but I'm sure there have been huge advancements since then.
I've never added voiceover. My version doesn't allow recording it direct from a mic, but later versions (2012 onwards) do.

Thanks mate.
I have a pretty new Windows laptop but can't really find anything. My luck, if it's anything like Excel or Word the grubs make you buy ongoing subscriptions and they rape your credit card repeatedly.

What version of windows do you have? It seems Microsoft Clipchamp is pre installed in windows11 , or you can run it free in a browser.

Yeah I have that Clipchamp, on 11, but can't figure it out.
I'll take another look.
