Question by shomakh: Anyone know an easy way to edit home videos/video clips? How to combine parts of several videos to make one?
I have several videos i filmed on my mobile and uploaded. I now want to make a ‘best of’ sort of video, where i want to take the best parts of all my movies and combine them into one.

Does anyone know an easy (or even a hard!) way to do that? Is it possible? I have Windows Movie Maker already but could download any other free software if someone suggested it. I checked Windows Movie Maker and the tutorial says i can combine clips if they are ‘contiguous’ or shot at the same time in the same sequence. My movies are all different, filmed at different times.

Hope someone can help. I get the feeling that, with all the software available nowadays, it cant be a difficult thing to do, once i know how!

Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot all who replied. Its not just that i want to combine several clips, but i want to combine certain parts of various videos. How do i get those parts out of the original clips first? then i need to combine them.

Hope not tooo confusing! 🙂

Windows movie maker is an easy, free way to do that, it doesnt have to be at the same time, just the same format, since they all from your phone then it should be fine.
once you get them on your computer just drag and drop them into the WMM timeline and edit as you see fit.
