FileLab

This was an ironic tool to come across, for me at least, because I just got done with a huge project involving windows movie maker. FileLab is a free movie maker as well but comes with a lot more options than movie maker, in my opinion its a lot better than windows movie maker. It is an audio and movie editor along with a system cleaner. All of these are completely free. So here is what it offers that is so amazing ->

        For the Movie Maker, for starters you can do a lot of different editing. You can cut out different voice recordings and pictures you put in, you can add effects and transitions between each slide, you can overlay your video in a sense where it isn't so orderly. It has a wide variety of different color schemes and again effects you can add to create a more realistic movie. The one downfall in my opinion is the complexity. With Windows Movie Maker it is quite simple and easily directed, FileLab is a bit more confusing but once you get the hang of it, it is much easier.

       They also have the Audio Editor, which is convenient for when you want to work on something that is not movie related. This really gives you an open opportunity for any file formatting, which is nice, you have the option to be lenient with how your saving files and such so that it is easier to transfer. There again is several different editing tools and adding affect tools, some of these may just be amplifying or cutting our certain sections. All of these are beneficial especially for live performances. I would of been very eager to have used something like this for my digital story board, the ability to edited live work of you speaking is very generous in this kind of project.

       FileLab also offers a computer cleaner, that you download and every couple of weeks sweeps through your system to make sure you have no viruses. All of these are really helpful tools in my opinion, I also think this program is much stronger than some others I have used before and am very eager to give this one a shot.
