HI, I have a lot of MP4 video files which I want to edit. Basically I want to be able to take lots of small sections out of all of them, and put them all together in one video, hopefully MPG or something. I would also possibly like to have the option of sound and video fading each bit in and and to make it smoother. I notice that Windows Movie Maker can do these fades, but won't accept MP4 (and of course I can't seem to cut the bits out in that program anyway). Does anyone know of any simple freeware video editing programs which might do this?

Howdy ianpwilliams,

I have used this and is descent for a free prgram and will do just what you want it to do.

This is is a lot better but only has a 30 days trail!
