Hi all,

I am looking for recommendations for video editing software please.

Key features required:
- stitching videos together
- adding background music
- adding watermark (logo)
- overlaying texts & images at various parts through the video.

Thanks!

Thanks all.

Doesn't look like that's the proper "Microsoft" version of Movie Maker (unless I'm mistaken).

I'm going to try OpenShot first and then go through that free trials list.

Thanks again 🙂

Windows Movie Maker's functionality was transferred to Photos in Windows 10 but I don't know how proficient it is as an editor.
