Title: video tools
Post by: brog on September 11, 2009, 10:29:09 AM
Could anyone recommend good programs for converting a series of image files into a video, splicing a video file together out of pieces of other videos, adding a soundtrack?
I used to have a good tool for the first a reformat or two ago, but can't remember what it was called.

Thanks.

For converting images into video i've used ffmpeg (http://ffmpeg.org/). It's a commandline tool, but it works well. For editing video, you probably want a decent non-linear editor, but I can't recommend any free ones of the top of my head.

I'm not gonna lie:  Windows Movie Maker isn't bad for what you want.

But personally I use VirtualDub.  It is free, so no worries there.
