Default Video Editing Software
I have been videoing my track session and have a large amount of days saved up and need to edit them. I am using a GoPro camera and it produces in MP4 format. What is a good editing software to get that will process a MP4 file?

I don't think Movie Maker will accept MP4 formats.

Your Go Pro probably had a video editing program that came with it, and that should do what you want to do.

I use WMM live when editing my go pro videos. I downloaded one of the free converters online. I don't remember which one but I just googled it and found lots of info.

That's good to hear. My Vista version won't touch it.

I'll use my wife's PC, it has Win 7 on it.

I'm getting ready to try out RaceRender.

Just got a new computer (mine was ~7yrs old) to help out with it!

I use QuickTime Pro. I used to use WMM but seemed like I had to go through too many steps and I lost video quality.
