So, whether you want to create a simple slideshow video for a demo track or edit a complete music video for your latest single, this list of freeware video editing tools has you covered.

Not to mention that having a decent YouTube channel can attract more potential listeners to your music. While a list of free video editors is probably not something that you’d expect to find on a website about music production and sound design, the truth is that a lot of musicians (including myself) like experimenting with video in one way or another. There were actually quite a few free non-linear video editors to choose from back then, but none of them were nearly as feature packed and easy to use as the recently announced HitFilm 3 Express. Since this brilliant free video editor by FXHOME is such a major game changer, we’ve decided to publish an updated and completely re-written version of our free video editing software list that you can read below. A couple of years ago, I was planning on launching a YouTube channel for BPB, so I went on a search for freeware programs to handle the job of video editing and 2D animation that I would use for the channel.
