To add, Natron is based on Nuke, they are so similar a person can jump straight from either to the other. Natron is having difficulty with funding currently and is in feature freeze due to it’s lone developer needing to put food on the table. This even though it’s considered relatively stable in current form The community exists at pixls.us

Hi, There are a lot of high quality videos with graphics by Rack users.
I have got to grips with video recording of the screen but need a relatively simple video editor for putting up VCP entries.
Can anyone please recommend a good video editor with the ability for graphics overlay and movement of the graphics for Windows 10.
Thank you
Jamuud
Here’s a previous thread that discusses the subject:
TL;DR Openshot is good. So is Shotcut.
Personally I use Blender but that’s not “simple”.

Shotcut has a huge amount of work going on behind the scenes. It is constantly getting bugfixes and features added. The backend is made for broadcast media and the dev is the dev of both.
In addition, like vcvrack, shotcut is available on OSX,Win, and Linux.

if you’re using reaper as daw, then look into its (very basic) video editing capabilities.
on windows and osx there is also the free (as in beer) hitfilm express, which is very capable if you want to dig deeper some day.
iMovie is (was?) quite capable and inexpensive, and I believe there are reasonably priced versions of Final Cut Express as well on that platform. When I last used an (old) mac you could get Final Cut Express for around fifty dollars, and a copy of Motion for the same, which is kind of like having after effects and premier.
It depends. If your videos are already processed for editing then it’s not significantly harder than doing the same cut and splice jobs in Final Cut or Premier. It’s not as tolerant of splicing random clips as ex. iMovie and friends are, but professional VSEs and compositing software are built around workflows where the camera footage has been pre-processed for editing as well.
Vegas is a really great and intuitive software for windows, the prices start at 244usd
lightworks is a really great award-wining video editor, it have a free version
adobe premier is very used too
I m not recomend blender to you as video editor since is complicatet in the 2.7 version and is no ready to use in the 2.8
I think shotcut, avidemux,openshot that you are looking for
I shall try Blender and Shotcut first and see if they do what I need.
Thanks so much for all your help. I really appreciate it.

DaVinci Resolve has a pretty usable free version

it look pretty nice, and it have a Linux version too…

One mention for Media Composer | First by Avid, though a bit oversized, not particularly friendly, and it can be picky with your system configuration. Well worth a try, anyway, for anyone willing to test and compare different solutions.
And yet another one:
Olive Video Editor
This one is still in Alpha, but looks promising.

Avidemux can do many things too. I use it from time to time. It allows me to extract the part of a video that I save. Then from this part, I extract the audio in WAV that I remaster with OcenAudio or Audacity. Then I re-import the audio and apply some filters to the video (fade in/out, sharpeness etc) then export it all to an MKV file.
do you mean “presets”? there is not more than perhaps 10 video digital formats
Get a room, you two.

In a similar space is Kdenlive - Video Editing Freedom
Free and opensource, cross-platform, and both useful for novice and advanced users.
+1 for Resolve, it’s a huge PITA at first but worth persevering with. I can edit stuff quite fast now I’m used to it.

I second the DaVinci Resolve recommendation. The free version has loads of functionality that I will never use, worthy of a professional studio. But it also works well and efficiently for simple editing.
