For simple video edits, like splicing out a section or adding several clips together, AviTricks offers a lightweight alternative to resource intensive options like Windows Movie Maker and Adobe Premiere Elements. It will do video capture from source material like a VHS player or Webcam. Rubber-band style editing of audio makes adjusting levels a simple matter. Editing is non-destructive to the original source video files. Output is either AVI, DivX format AVI, or WMV. AviTricks lacks advanced features like auto movie creation, and effects and transitions (it offers a few of each), but for cuts, comp and editing raw clips, it will definitely do the trick. Available effects may be layered. [Windows 9x/2k/XP $0.00]
