  <body>&lt;p&gt;Recently I got interested in video editing. But I could not put my hands on Adobe or Apple tools as they are too pricey for me. So I was looking for some free solutions and I found &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.virtualdub.org/index.html&quot;&gt;VirtualDub&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Main_Page&quot;&gt;AVISynth&lt;/a&gt; to be very promising. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Both of them are free and open-source with a huge community support and both of them are non-destructive editing tools. AVISynth has more features than VirtualDub, but script based while the latter has a good GUI. They seem to have good potential for building a cost-effective workflow solution for video editing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Anybody here have any experience with them? would really like to hear some comments and insights on them.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Regards
