Looking for a free video editing program that will allow me to fade from one video to another over the top of each other. As in to be able to adjust the transparency of the 2 videos in relation to each other. Sorry if I'm not explaining this as well as I could be...probably why I'm having difficulty figuring it out...thanks in advance for any advice.

 

Davinci Resolve by Blackmagic is Free. Google it, youtube it

 

Thanks. CPU hog and and takes up a ton of space though. Not what I'm looking for.

 

Youtube tools probably allow this (I'm guessing) but it'll compress the video into it's own format so you won't be able to easily edit it again without further loss of quality. For simple jobs it may do the trick though. Worth a look if you don't want a large dedicated app. I don't know of anything else free beyond Resolve.

 

Has anyone tried Open Shot? It's a free open source video editor - https://www.openshot.org/

I don't know if it suits OP's requirements. Never used it, so merely offering it up here for comments.

 

adobe premiere is the tool you need
You have 30days trial, then feel free to buy it or to crack it, both choices you have my permission

 

another option is Free Video Editor ... http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor ...

 

Thanks for the options! I've been trying a few of these. OpenShot seemed decent but then got glitchy, the best one so far for moving between 2 videos has been VideoPad. Of course I'm only a couple hours in so learning a lot at once. I just noticed the new version of Vegas Pro out there in the AudioZ world I might have to try that too..

 

Try Kdenlive as well.

Davinci Resolve is free. It has more than you can ever use but simple things are simple. Has built-in audio editor. No watermarks in general, can export 4K, some visual effects put watermark though.
other basic free video editors include ShotCut or Openshot. No watermarks. and does its job very well.
