I want to try making some music videos with footage taken from various films, but I need to know what kinds of software you need to do this? Is it costly? Are there any freeware downloads?

If you're running Windows XP, you can make videos with Windows Movie Maker. It works pretty well.  |

I use both Ulead Video Studio & Adobe Premier but both will cost money if you are looking at buying one of the latest versions.
You can download a free 30 day trial of Adobe Premier Pro from their website but I think it may be all a bit too much if you've had no experience in editing.
As MaWa has said, try Movie Maker that come bundled with Windows XP, thats always a good place to start.

I have Movie Maker on XP, but I have no idea how to use it. Can you use it to make music videos? How do you do that? Whenever I try to import video files from a DVD--which, I'm assuming, is what you're supposed to do--it never works! I'll have a look and see if I can figure it out.

I don't use W.M.M. but I'm pretty sure you can't use the VOB's you've ripped straight from the DVD...they will need to be re-encoded to .WMV or .mpeg or something similar.
What sort of clips did you use to make yours MaWa?

No, they can't. I personally used - hm, I shouldn't say that - a downloaded copy and it worked perfectly.
As far as I know, there is some software available, which can convert DVD formats to DIVX or other similar formats. This should do the job. Don't ask me how to use it though - I'm no expert here.

Thanks for the input.
Yep, seems like VOB is not a compatible format for WMM. I'll have to look for a converter of some kind, to reformat the VOB into WAV or something.

A cheap, easy to use way to go would be Vegas Video, it's alot cheaper and user friendly than Adobe Premier or Ulead

Adobe Premiere for Windows and Final Cut Pro for MAC, though FCP is a pain compared to AP, and I know where you can get free copies of both programs... Shhh

Let's just say, hypothetically speaking, that someone wanted to obtain a copy of the said software... how would they happen? I say hypothetically speaking because obviously there is no one here who would dare to illegally download a licensed product.  |
