ANY software to SIMPLY edit my videos :(

[Cait]

This is my camera. It was a fairly expensive one compared to anything i've ever bought.

It records in this format: Video: ISO standard MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (.MP4)

And i cant find any bloody programs to edit the video without converting it first! and that takes for-ever- -____-.

Windows movie maker, old versions of windows movie maker, Ive tried a ton of online ones, and i even bought Ulead VideoStudio 10+ which boasts HD compatible, yet that cant even do it!

Where in the world can i find an editor for my videos!??

I dont need anything fancy, just a simple "Cut from here to here, and add a fade transition in between the 2!"

Thanks!

Theres a few free ones you could try out:

Wax: http://www.debugmode.com/wax/

Lightworks: http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=182

For one that should be very simple to use you could try this one although it might only be a trial:

The top two are definitely 100% free and not trials etc but could be more complicated to get to grips with.

I use Sony Vegas Pro myself for all my editing and it handles every file type I have thrown at it including full HD raw videos dragged and dropped into it.

If you have a Mac then Final Cut should be good for you. Supports a large number of formats.
The equivalent for that for Windows would be Adobe Premiere Pro. These softwares are simple to use in some cases. YouTube has a lot of basic tutorials on how to use these softwares.
