Hello friends! I've recently decided that I want to get into creating video essays on youtube on different literary and fandom topics, and I've been torn about what video editing software to use. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, but I do need it to be functional and intuitive. I'm fairly familiar with iMovie and honestly like it a whole lot and I'm getting a new laptop soon, but I don't really want to switch over to a mac JUST for iMovie, you know? I dislike the mac operating system apart from a few programs.

Does anyone know if newer versions of Windows Movie Maker or other windows compatible editing software have

1. Voice over capacity
2. Easy editing of sound and the capacity to move and adjust sound independent from video
3. Ease of adding in audio from a different source
4. Ability to easily trim videos within the program
5. Ease of adding in pictures

I don't need fancy bells and whistles because honestly, I doubt if I would USE them, but I do need software that has the tools I know I will use and is easy to figure out.

Thanks guys!

tbh, windows 10 has a pretty basic make videos app. you can watch a youtube video beforehand to make sure tho.

the rest of make videos in a windows app that are more advanced than the one the windows 10 offers...well, theyre not free but im pretty sure cracked versions exists.

This may be a reply coming way too late but... I got a cheap copy of Vegas Movie Studio 13.0 (cut down version of Sony Vegas video editing software lots of people use for fanvids) and it can do all those things I am fairly sure. There is likely a demo version out there to try. It probably does more than you need.

If you want anything more complicated for audio editing before you put it in a vid, editing the track in Audacity (which is free) is a good piece of software with plenty of tutorials out there.
