On Windows, however, there is an easy way to downgrade to the non-commercial free version: Simply begin the process of uninstalling it as you normally would with any software. This version will eventually expire and begin asking you to pay to open the software.

The prominent red download button on the website leads to the free-trial-then-paid version, while the truly free version is offered in small text beneath that (or alternately at /software/free-downloads.html).Īs far as I have been able to test, the free version asks you to certify that you are using it non-commercially, then it will leave you alone to use its more limited features.

One important thing to be aware of regarding the Windows/Mac VideoPad is that there is a free version offered for non-commercial use and a version that will give you a free trial, then ask you to purchase it when the trial expires.

The Windows and Mac versions are largely the same, while the Android version is an app available in the Google Play store. I have not tested the Kindle version, so I won’t review that. There are versions for Windows, Mac, Android, and Kindle. VideoPad is available to download from NCH Software’s website ( /videopad).

While not perfect-I’ll outline some challenges and how I have approached them-VideoPad is the best and closest replacement I have found for Windows Movie Maker and the best option for the type of amateur video editing I teach to students. Finally, after an extensive search, I settled on NCH Software’s VideoPad Video Editor.

I encountered free software that was too advanced for my needs, software that was promising but not free, software lacking the types of features I needed, and free software full of bugs and unresolved issues. Additionally, there can be significant differences between versions of iMovie, making it challenging to teach to a group of people with different installations.)Īfter Movie Maker became unavailable, I spent some time trying out various options as possible replacements. The most important is that the computer labs available to me on campus are Windows-only, making it difficult to demo for students. (As a note: I choose not to teach Apple’s iMovie for a few reasons. Unfortunately, Microsoft discontinued Movie Maker in January 2017, removing all official downloads and ending any support for the product.

Movie Maker made no real demands on users to have a solid grasp on video editing and would let them learn as they went. While some of the video effects and transitions might have been a bit cheesy, they were easy to apply and worked for the simple digital essay and digital narrative assignments students were creating. With an interface bearing marked similarities to other Microsoft Office software, it was easy for most students to adapt to, and the program was fairly intuitive. Until recently, my go-to for amateur video editing was Windows Movie Maker. It’s my goal to help students learn software they can continue using past a particular class assignment-and even past graduation-without needing special licenses or subscription access. In other words, I teach tools that are free and easy for amateurs and beginners to pick up. Since I am usually only given one class period to cover the material, I try to teach these skills in a way that is accessible to the most people. Part of my role as the State University of New York–Oswego’s (SUNY–Oswego) learning technologies librarian is to familiarize students with the technology tools needed to complete their assigned projects, many of which involve audio and video editing.
