Advice on recording rehearsals.

[paulbass]

Hi everyone, I hope i'm in the right forum for this advice! I'm hoping that my fellow bass people could tell me what is the best 'free' editing tool is for editing recordings our band rehearsals. We are using a panasonic fz150 video camera and would like to be able to merge a few clips together and put them on our website and youtube just to give everyone the taste of what we do.Ideally we would like to do a 4/5 minute clip and blend samples of a few songs together as a bit of a montage.I dont know how to fade and merge clips together and I'm not very clued up on this type of thing! I hope you guys can help. Thanks

If you have an Apple computer, there may be stuff in the iLife bundle that can help.
Not sure of PCM equivalent. I'm sure another basschatter will help you shortly ,)

Good afternoon, Paul...

You might like to look at this...

...an easy-to-use video editor, free, but sufficient prformance for your needs, I would guess. I had a similar need, and this is what I chose to use, on a modest Windows XP PC. Very intuitive, I found, and reasonably fast treatment.
Hope this helps...

I forget what limitations there are, or might be, but it is pretty easy to use
