Comments on: Free Software for Everyone: Avidemux http://jamesviscosi.wordpress.com/2008/11/16/free-software-for-everyone-avidemux/ The official blog of speculative fiction (and dog blog) writer James Viscosi Mon, 04 Jan 2010 02:50:15 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Gina http://jamesviscosi.wordpress.com/2008/11/16/free-software-for-everyone-avidemux/#comment-622 Gina Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:35:11 +0000 http://jamesviscosi.wordpress.com/?p=266#comment-622 Unfortunately this would probably be way too advanced for me. I haven't even sat down long enough to learn how to upload a video (and I have several). I said that before I learned some HTML too and when I finally took the time (and courage) to learn it, it was so simple. Lest think I am a complete dummy, I used accounting, etc. software when I worked and Access, Excel, etc. But the most complicated thing I used was an old program in DOS called MIP. Ever heard of it? Probably not. It was beyond ancient and this was 2003-4. :) Unfortunately this would probably be way too advanced for me.

Being a natural-born luddite (and also poor!), I've been slow to reload and am exploring what one can do without, instead (e.g. - plain old Microsoft paint is a great program!) I actually appreciate having limitations sometimes -- it's like resorting to haiku or sonnets when writing gets too big and scary. I would love to explore video someday, though, and I'm not sure whether to thank you or not for dangling a FREE APP like this right in front of me!! <blockquote><strong>Jim says: MS Paint is okay, but if you don't mind having another free app dangled in front of you, you might want to check out <a href="http://jamesviscosi.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/free-software-for-writers-and-artists-the-gimp/" rel="nofollow">The GIMP</a>. ;-)</strong></blockquote> I had to get a new computer and lost most of my software when I did.

This is a little simpler than several of the programs I've been using, at least for my purposes. And simple is good. Yes, thank you!
