Edit biography

I need a recommendation for a quick-and-easy video editing program for Windows.  I shot some video on my phone of a rehearsal, and I'd love to be able to slice the 33 minute video into individual songs... BUT I also want to be able to mess with the audio track if need be.

I will only use this once or twice, so cheaper is better, but whatevz.

Any recommendations?

Gracias!

My first thought is Camtasia, but now that I'm thinking about it, I seem to remember you saying that it wouldn't do audio editing?

Windows Movie Maker works on some later versions of Windows (you still have 7?) - if you can find it. Some (minor) audio editing (cutting / moving) is built in.

I love Premiere Elements - it's pricey (but still < $100) and it does most everything I want when I have a Windows Machine to use and/or don't have my Creative Suite (and thus Premiere). Check the PatchoJillo dropbox folder.

Which leads me to: do you not still have CS3? (or was it 6?). Premiere is in that and is the industry standard 800 lb gorilla. That said, the learning curve isn't tough for the basics. Cut, slide, paste etc.

Okay, you didn't want War an Peace. Let me know if you run into issues.

Also (and unrelated) I'm going to be in L.A. tomorrow. :)
