  4. Create screen capture videos with Camtasia. You can download a 30 day fully functional copy of Camtasia from techsmith.com. Or you can use the free alternatives Camstudio and Sony Vegas.
  5. Windows Movie Maker (Free – included in Windows computers). It can help you make beautiful slideshow or video clips (e.g. mixing your songs with pictures/video/etc),  then save it as video file such as wmv or mpg, then upload. Or just get use clips you want, save and convert them, and then mix/match with pictures and sound using Windows Movie Maker to create new masterpieces.

  11. Adobe Premiere lets you edit your movie.
