I will say, the most powerfull tool on the list is lightworks. Especially for vlogs. Ive had a look at it for about a week now and it is really good at getting the job done. The interface is really well designed. I then found out Martin Scorsese's editor uses it. So The Wolf Of Wall Street and Shutter Island, among others, were edited using lightworks.

You can also use bandicam and to get rid of the watermark, just edit it out by motion tracking in your video software. Problem is that most software that has motion tracking is not free. There is also camstudio.

I'd want to suggest you some free-as-in-freedom video editors:
  • KDEnlive: my personal choice, very powerful and complete non-linear video editing software. Excellent for youtubers!
  • Openshot: a simple video editor, less powerful than KDEnlive but surely easier to use. Good for beginners, but I'd suggest you to learn using KDEnlive instead
  • Cinelerra: professional, yet incredibly complicated video editing software. Never figured out how to make it work, but some people seem to be able to use it. Not reccomended, but if you are a pro you could give it a shot
  • Blender: this software is famous for 3d modelling and animation, but it actually also has video editing capabilities. Not that easy to use or simple to understand, but with some tutorials and practice it's a nice and powerful piece of software

Is KDEnlive only on Linux or is there some sort of port for Windows?

i will add more to the list
Nice list I would agree on most of the parts The Screen Recorder I use is Action It Costs some money but it compleatly worth it. (-Get to stream -User friendly -gives almost 0 FPS drop during recording)[DOUBLEPOST=1411960219][/DOUBLEPOST]
I personally use windows movie maker for let's plays and other simple videos. I am beginning to learn lightworks for a bit more advanced editing, but I still wish I could get my hands on Vegas Pro or Premiere. (If I didn't have to spend as much as they cost!) LOL
same here i used to use it when i just started recording my Youtube videos

AVS Video Editor is also a free and basic video editing software, it was one i used to use[DOUBLEPOST=1414024027][/DOUBLEPOST]
Good job doing the research....
But just to say, i use Sony Vegas Pro 13.
So this will be very useful listw for beginners.
Thats paid though, not free
