I want to start making ''Let's plays'' with my friends and I need to be able to see all of the footage from everyone's games so I can cut all the footages into one screen. Example: I'm playing Minecraft with a bunch of friends. I want the footage in the video to jump from my footage to my friend's, then to someone else's and so on and so forth.
Also, I would like the program to be as simple as possible. And free.
A good video editing program?
There's no good free editing software out there, but if you're up to it; torrent one. If you have a Mac, I recommend Final Cut Pro and if you have a PC, look into Sony Vegas. The guys in Achievement Hunter use Final Cut Pro if that's where you got the idea to let's play.
I prefer Adobe Premiere Pro. Sony Vegas is not bad too but I had to download some codecs before editing so it sux.
