The two editing programs that I chose to compare for this week's assignment are Windows Movie Maker and Avidemux. Overall, I think both of them are useful programs that each have its own purpose.
I like Windows Movie Maker's ease of use. It has a lot of built in features that make video production seem really easy...especially for people like me who don't have a lot of experience with video editing. The look of the program should also be pretty familiar to anyone who uses Windows as his or her operating system. I became somewhat familiar with this program over the summer while creating a slideshow for my brother's funeral. I had never tried to create a video before, and I was surprised that I already had a program on my computer that would allow me to put photos, videos, and music together to create a fairly professional looking product. The "Movie Tasks" bar on the left hand side has virtually every option that one may need to create a video. There is even a feature called "Make an automovie" that takes all of your photos and videos and automatically turns them into a finished product.
Avidemux is a program that I had come across before when trying to change video formats. As it turns out, it is also a pretty useful video editing program. One thing that Avidemux makes really simple is the splicing or appending of videos. If you have two or more videos of the same format that you would like to put together to create one video, Avidemux is your program. This program is also useful for taking small clips out of a video. This could be useful when observing copyright laws. Finally, this program makes converting formats very simple.
In conclusion, I think Movie Maker is probably a more useful program, but Avidemux could come in handy at certain times.
