Looking at these three open source video editing softwares, I see a lot of positives and some negaitives with each. A couple of things that they all have going for them is that they are free to use for everyone as long as they have a computer to download them and they all seem to be very easy to use. Two of these programs I have used and am using in my classroom and the other I just got introuduced to and am getting used to. I use Microsoft Movie Maker to teach my students the basics of video editing through the PC because it does not work with an Apple computer. Once the students know the basics they can move on to more powerful editing software. iMovie for the Apple computer is like Movie Maker but for the MAC computers. It is easy to use and a good way for students to start off learning about editing software. Both of these programs I use on a daily basis so to me they are pretty easy, but some of the disadvantages for both are that sometimes they are slow, they crash, or they do not accept certain formats. However, they are free and anyone can use them, so I will continue to use them to teach the basics and once the students understand the basics they will move up to Vegas Pro and Final Cut. Wax is a program that I just downloaded and am still looking at, but am able to say that it too is a good program to let students start working and figuring out basic techniques. The important thing about using these different programs is allowing the students to get a feel for many different types of programs and letting them decide which one best fits their needs and because they are free they can download them at home and use them.
