Well after waiting patiently for 45 minutes, I discovered that Microsoft Powerpoint 2007, or Microsoft for that matter cannot edit videos.

So, Forumites,

Suggest me a well-made video editing software.

i actually lol'd out loud when i read that. Never heard of someone trying to do that.

Anyway, a common one is Adobe Premiere, but a friend of mine took to Sony Vegas due to it being a lot easier to use than Premiere. Premiere does everything pretty much, and Vegas was a lot simpler.

Hahaha you hate Microsoft because powerpoint can't edit video? Plenty of reasons to hate Microsoft, but that one is kinda stupid dude

Premiere Pro or Avid are for professional editing (e.g.: expensive, takes some time to learn)

Windows Movie Maker is awful but perfect for your two minute compilation of friends farting videos.

Sure it can edit videos.

...If you split them up into individual frames and want ugly looking effects between each one, making your end video run at around 0.5-1fps. Yeah, it could.
But really, anything from this (http://video-editing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/) should work for you. Otherwise, go with what everyone else said.

I concur.

Seriously though, you're a fucking chump if you thought that powerpoint was a good thing to edit videos with.

Seriously though, just use Movie Maker. I wouldn't reccommend using it all the time - but it's free and does the job.

Hmm...No I just hated the fact that I had to wait 45 minutes for the answer to that question.

Well I went to this little dandy place http://support.microsoft.com (http://support.microsoft.com)but didn't find squat on editing videos on powerpoint. Just wanted to see if it was possible.

How did it take 45 minutes to find that out?


Well, I went through three people just to answer my question. One person, Mel, was asking me for my product #, gave me a service #, and transfered me to services in the US. The second person, Sebastian, verified my service #, and directed me to a microsoft representive, the third person, Paul. 45 minutes was basically consumed listening to waiting-music.

I searched under Google to find "Microsoft Office Support"...And I used the little brains I have, to think "Hey! Why should I read what misc. computer experts have to say when they are being searched under Google? I should go straight to the source?!?"

Edit: I'm so technologically oblivious. Gimme a break, guys.

Anyway, use windows movie maker, or download a trial of adobe premiere
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/ if you only need to use it for a short while.
