I tried for years to try to get started learning how to fool around with audio and video.
finally? "LINUX"
theres a linux called "A/V linux", its a custom redo of "MX" linux...
you run it LIVE, and its loaded with tons of audio and video software.
I learned to do RANK BASIC video and audio with "Avidemux" (limited, but, great introduction)
then? I had to force myself to learn to use (a little bit anyways) the "Cinelerra GG")
it was like pulling teeth, but, at least I got started in the hobby.
there are 2 or 3 other AV editors that seem advanbced like cinelerra GG, but, I can only teach myself "so much" and am kinda hooked on CIN for now.
its FREE

I write my own software, to do rolling titles/end credits. Then... use a screen recorder to get them into an editing software...
I fooled a few people, when I "re-did" the end credits to the movie "shooter" with my own music in place of the original otis redding "bad letter" that was trhemusic for the end credits
