How can I edit my camcorder tapes?
Q cI’ve got a lot of camcorder tapes I’d like to edit and save to DVD or USB stick. Could you recommend a free (or reasonably priced) program to help me?

A Have you tried Microsoft Clipchamp? It’s probably from the Microsoft Store (www.snipca.com/53422 It’s easy to use and has many of the standard video-editing elements, including a timeline on to which you can drag video clips ( 1 in our screenshot), a preview window where you can see the film as it comes together 2 , and various cut and transition tools. Once you’ve mastered these simple features, you can transfer much of what you’ve learned to other more advanced editing software.
