Video Editing Made Easy – the Most User-Friendly Software and Tools

Video editing is considered to be a very time- and money-consuming process, because without certain skills and great piece of special knowledge you are doomed to failure. And let's face it - most of us aren't exactly video professionals and spending sleepless nights in fighting with complicated and not-so-cheap software can even make us give up the idea of having a video that we wanted at first.

There is a common situation when you need to have a simple video presentation on your website, or a product review, or a testimonial - that's a really simple video editing task and there's no point to hire someone to do it for you. What you do need in this case is a software with a simple and intuitive interface that won't confuse you with tons of super-professional features. Quite familiar to many of us, isn't it?

That's why we want to show you a list consisting of really simple yet efficient video editing software and tools that can really help you with your little movie. Look trough these tools and pick something that you think will be best for your exact needs. And please consider the fact that some leading services from our list have free monthly trials or some premium membership programs, and if you want some extra features you'll have to spend a certain amount of money. Other than that we've tried to compile a list of free tools. Enjoy!
