&gt;&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;I wonder if there is an easier software, that is free out there, &nbsp; &lt;&lt;&nbsp; &nbsp;i am interested in finding such software too, but usually, modern software includes so many possibilities, options, and features, that the learning curve takes months - or longer

In response to Paul, I have Windows Essential, the business essential version, aka Office 365, &nbsp;but I do not see the movie maker anywhere. &nbsp;maybe I am not looking at the right place. &nbsp;because when I tried to install the Movie maker as u suggested, it says that it is part of Windows Essential. &nbsp;Thank u for your advice.

My OS is win 10 Pro 64 bit and I have an OMNI2 camcorder. &nbsp;The cam saves in AVI format. &nbsp;I am using Pinacle Studio 16 but the learning curve is a bit steep, although it has many interesting features, &nbsp;for me. &nbsp;I wonder if there is an easier software, that is free out there, where I can use to get the experience and exposure before reverting to Pinnacle. &nbsp;Thank u for your suggestions.

Video Editing software

A digital camera or digicam is a camera that encodes digital images and videos digitally and stores them for later reproduction. Most cameras sold today are digital, and digital cameras are incorporated into many devices ranging from PDAs and mobile phones (called camera phones) to vehicles. Digital and film cameras share an optical system, typically using a lens with a variable diaphragm to focus light onto an image pickup device.  Digital cameras can display images on a screen immediately after being recorded, and store and delete images from memory. Many digital cameras can also record moving videos with sound. Some digital cameras can crop and stitch pictures and perform other elementary image editing.

Digital Cameras / Camcorders

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.

MultiMedia Applications

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
