Guys, hello!
I'm new to this editing stuff and to these forums as well.
Would somebody suggest me some softwares from which I can edit videos?
From which I can add text or captions, effects etc to videos.
Thanks.

Avidemux is a free open-source program designed for multi-purpose video editing and processing, which can be used on almost all known operating systems and computer platforms. Avidemux is my personal favorite because of its simplicity yet wide range of tools.

You can read about it and other free editors here:

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 ($700)

Canopus Edius Neo 3 ($200)

Image is of Neo 1.0 which is the version I currently own.

I use Windows Live Movie Maker - it works very well and is free.

WHS tipped me off to "Machete Lite".

It's a free download that does basic editing on AVI and WMV files, losslessly---you don't lose any quality.

Works great, very quick. I use it to cut out unwanted portions of videos. It can't do anything fancy, but it is very easy to use for its intended purpose.

The same company also has "Machete", which has many more features, but is not free--I've never used it.

I appreciate you guys for giving responses thanks. But I'm in search of a free video editor with adds good effects to a video, which you guys are sure of.

Yes, Machete is a great editor. It has some restrictions but it is fast and efficient. I have the Pro version which really has nothing extra that I am using. So I recommend to go with the Lite version.

What kind of effects are you thinking about.

I'd suggest you visit this site once a day, sometimes they have free video editor giveaways, but only for a limited time. Over the past three weeks they gave away 2 of them, the only caveat was there was no support for them.

I want some cool effects so that I can create some AMV's.

You lost me - no idea what you mean. Must be something for insiders.
