Hi Montezuma,
I've been in the Hesketh Arms in the past but don't live near to it, never have, I'm t'other side of Preston but know a few Southport folk.
I am really really struggling to find a decent - and free - replacement for WMM but there's nothing so simple and intuitive.
I have rejected several and am almost at the point of giving up. Seriously considering buying Adobe.
I edit our holiday videos and photos into .wmv format, usually 3 or 4 mins but maybe up to 10, and compile them onto a DVD.
I use Windows DVD Maker for that on an old Win7 laptop - another excellent software that's impossible to replace.

Well there were plenty of options, and I used one, but how long will it last ?
I got a trial demo pop-up warning as soon as I chose export.
Appears to be the same version 6.30 that I had before.

Well, after that last post I went back to my little project and discovered that NO export options are available without getting the paid version.
Also the pop-up makes clear it's only for one device, but I have one in UK and another abroad.
So I'm afraid it's no good for my purposes.
What's more it's annoying that this wasn't made clear before I wasted my time learning to use it.
Wouldn't it be fairer and more honest to come clean?

OK thanks again.
Think I'll wait and see what I lose after the trial and try some other editors in the meantime.
I am reluctant to pay but if I did I'd probably go for Adobe.
At worst I can always carry on with WMM.

Hi borate, many thanks for quick reply.
So how long is the trial period exactly?
I am trialling several free editors with a view to replacing WMM (which I still think is brilliant).
If I am going to lose most of VP's export choices then maybe I should give up the trial now?
Much depends which ones remain.

Hi all, new user here. VideoPad Free 6.30 Windows 8.1
Managed to create a video using 3 clips and my own titles, software seems great but am confused on couple of points :
(1) When I went to Export a pop-up directed me towards a paid version but I was able to dismiss it and continue regardless.
So is this a trial version that has an expiry date or is it truly free for home use in perpetuity? If the latter, what features are restricted?
(2) I exported in .wmv format and the resulting 3 minute video file is 26.2 MB but exactly the same video created by Windows Movie Maker is 495 MB !
I can't detect any difference in playback quality on my laptop, so what's the reason for the size discrepancy?
Thanks in anticipation.

No way would I call my videos theatrical !
Just simple holiday memories as described in my previous post.
No fancy editing except cutting out any dross, adding titles and transitions.
