Basically it depends on what kind editing are looking for. If just simply creating a simple movie, you can use Windows Movie maker. And also making sure that your computer meets the requirements of these editing softwares.

afees,I am going to provide you with a couple of links to a company who's products i use and find very good.The links are to reviews of their movie editing product and are,i think balanced. Although i do use their products i don't use the one that is reviewed so i cannot give a personal point of view on it. They are a company based in Germany.

I am also including the link below which is to a 30 free trial of the software.Provided it is not undue limited in the trial version this could be a good way to ascertain if it meets your needs without laying out any of your hard earned money unless you do decide to purchase it. Disclaimer=i have no vested interests in this company other than a user of some of it's products.

when using magix movie edit my computer lags i would like to know some other software

[Mulreay]

That is very likely due to your small RAM and in todays market programmes desire much higher levels of both RAM and processing speed. This may be something else you should be looking at first.

For today's world, I find that dual core processor is a necessity to be encoding faster and also a smoother computer usage while the burning process is going on.

My AMD Athlon64 single core PC almost always hovers at high CPU usage when encoding or burning dvd, but you get the idea.... for me, it's tolerable but i'd want better obviously!

[afees]

could someone recommend some old version of of any software tht would run smoothly with my computer!
