I'm trying to put my home movies onto a disk I put them on my computer as a avi file. I'm trying to fix some of the BACKGROUND noise in my movies ,but haven't found a decent tool. Is there some sort of FREE SOFTWARE that may do the trick? Only software I have ever used successfully to edit audio/video is Camtasia, but its not free. If there is a free one out there that works well, I'd be interested in that myself as well as for, i no longer have access to Camtasia, since it was at am EMPLOYER licensed to them, and there have been times that I have wanted to edit video and cant.

Prior to Camtasia I was using Camstudio which is free, but is lacking in editing FEATURES, as well as has issues with some newer audio adapters etc. I was using these software to make training videos etc. Camtasia was so much better.

They have a free trial for 30 days, but not sure if all features are unlocked for that period. Potentially if its unlocked for 30 days and you have a 1 time use for an edit, or a bunch of movies that need editing, i suppose it would be free if you got them all completed before the 30 days are up. http://www.techsmith.com/download/camtasia/ However, its best to buy the software when using it for any large projects and not cheat out the company of revenues.
