Yes, there are lots of free video editing softwares that are available on the internet but all of them are not good to use. Since, I am a lot into editing videos due to my professional needs. I believe that I can gather some best video editing softwares which you can download right away and use for editing videos. These softwares are mostly compatible with any version of Windows and allows you editing, encoding, merge or split videos, add special effects like 2D and 3D effects, audio enhancements and much more.
So, have a look on WebSeasoning’s compilation of 18 Best Video Editing Software for Free Download. And if you know any other video editing software, feel free to add the link in the comment section below.
