Hello Everyone,
Just have a quick question/need a recommendation. I am using a Windows 7 Laptop and Windows 10 Laptop.
I want to know what you use for Audio editing and Video editing (prefer cheap or free options).
I just installed Audacity for my laptop and learning that. I will be updating it to include Windows Movie Maker.
However, there maybe some other free/cheap options for audio and video editing.
I think I would like very basic software, generally because I want to start a podcast and video cast (youtube, etc).
I already have a crappy mic, headphone, and a point/shoot camera. I want to learn the editing part of things.
Thank you for any recommendations that you may have.

For audio, you're not going to get better than Audacity for the cost. It'd be a great option if it wasn't free. I'd keep learning that.

I use Audacity for audio as well.
For video editing I use Hitfilm 4 Express. You can download it for free and it's adobe quality software.

Windows Movie Maker is going to be the simplest to use, but Lightworks will provide more functionality. Don't download VSDC. It comes with adware that is difficult to remove if you accidentally include it in the install.
