I'm wondering if anyone could recommend me a video editing program that is moderately easy to use and preferably free that can do the following:

  • Set other videos in frames in the video
  • Move images around at will
  • Pile sound effects on top of each other
  • Cut and place video clips with ease and precision
  • Strong audio control, perhaps good ducking
  • The ability to export to very high quality
  • Compress files
  • Export in 720p with a strong framerate

Anything that can do most or all of these things cheaply or free. It can be for any operating system, as I have multiple, although Windows or Mac would be preferred.

    This post does not contain enough information to be considered a high quality answer. Please read our discussion on what makes an answer high quality to see if you can incorporate some of these improvements into your answer. Answers should at least point out how the suggested software matches the requirements, and why especially this should be chosen. Personal experience (if any) is also wished for.

    That's better already; but how do the products match the requirements? Can they e.g. "Set other videos in frames in the video", "Pile sound effects on top of each other", or have "Strong audio control"? Any personal experiences with the two?

If cost does not matter I would suggest Adobe After Effects.

But if it does I would suggest either Blender (which is not a video editor but contains a really powerful video editor) or Avidemux which is also freeware but not as powerful as blender's built in video editor
