Here's a little story about my first foray into video editing.  I was noticing that nobody had watched any of my Youtube videos related to gaming, which essentially were uncut broadcasts from twitch.  I realized that this simply will not do, and so last night I set about editing my most recent broadcast into a highlight reel.

To begin with, I should have paid more attention to the fact that Youtube has a video editor right through your account.  I did not know this until after I was uploading the video.  At any rate, I found a decent video editor online that was relatively cheap.  I was going to use Movie Maker, but it wants nothing to do with .flv files.

I then go about editing my video, and I realize pretty quickly that I know absolutely nothing about what I'm doing.  I add the video as a resource, OK, then put it into the "story" section.  I started to figure out more and more while literally just trying to cut out the parts of the video I felt were not very entertaining.  Meanwhile I didn't realize it, but I had actually made some slowdown effects, and a remix effect at a couple random points in the video.  I left them in because I sort of find them amusing, and furthermore because I have no idea how to "undo" it.

The video is now up on my Youtube channel, obviously as time goes on, I will get better at it, but it was my first try, and somehow a couple of neat effects happened without me trying.  Please check it out, and comments are welcome here and/or on the comments section on Youtube.

I'm getting ready to do some video editing myself and was wondering what everyone else is using. I'd be interested in something that doesn't break the $100 mark.
 
@singlebanana:I got Wonderswan for $40, it's easy to use, and has much more capabilities than I have used.  Again, Youtube has video editing built in...I haven't tried it yet though.
 
@Gamer4Lyfe:Wondershare?  yeah Wondershare
 
The Youtube editor is extremly easy to use.  I have made a couple videos with the editor with little to no issue.  The only issue I have with it is the fact that you have to use there music.  I have not found a way to do it elsewise.  I do however want to get a different editor.  I really want to be able to add a additional video in a small box above my head when talking in some videos.  Like if I am talking about a certain game it would be nice to have it available to few in the video
 
I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to video editing and software, but I've been working on some projects lately and using Sony Movie Studio.  I don't have much to compare it to, but I have no complaints about this software so far.  I believe it costs $50 for the basic version, but I'm still using the 'trial' version and haven't had a reason to upgrade to the paid version yet.
 
@Disposed Hero:When you render a video it doesn't have a banner about being unregistered or anything?
 
Nope, no banners or watermarks or anything like that.
