While there are definitely some free NLEs out there that really aren't worth your time, the landscape has changed dramatically in the past few years in the "freemium NLE" market. This is where free editing software programs come in. If you want to experiment with editing before making a pricey commitment, or maybe you just don't think you'll need all the bells and whistles that expensive NLEs offer, it can be painful paying out potentially hundreds of dollars without needing to. If you are keen to get sucked into the world of film and video editing (and who wouldn't be?!), one of the biggest roadblocks stopping you could be the financial stakes involved.
