I downloaded! A proglam from the internet and its called
''Video Pad Video Editer'' *version 2.41*
I was having so much fun editing on it!
Than the next days
Its poped something out and it said
''your proglam trial is about to expare in the next few days''
What happens when it expares? Please answer!

And this is my dad's favorite proglam
It helps him make his movies and photo videos
I don't want him to get upset
Please tell me what will happen when it means expares

The idea of trialware is to Try before you Buy.
Once the trail expires AND you like it then purchase a licence for it..

Each program is different. It may not load anymore. Or it may not allow you to save anything you edit.

The warning screen that tells you of the expiration should include a link to where you can purchase a registration key.

So you buy it, did you think it was just going to be free if it was a trial.

It says I have to pay it with US dollars!
But I live in canada!
How am I going to pay it? I can't get US money in canada?
It said I have to pay the progalm with US dollars and send it to Denver!

Do you have a credit card? If you do, they will handle the money conversion. Will they accept Paypal? If so Paypal will also handle the conversion. If you need to mail them a check, you can purchase a money order from a Canadian bank that can be issued in US dollars. There are lots of ways you can handle payment.

Instead of paying for a program why not try a few free video editors and see if you can find something similar. On this page are listed several types, commercial are pay for and open source or free are free for personal use.

The first few (virtual dub and avidemux) are not true editors but more for conversion and correction (filtering) but any of the open source editors are worth trying to see if you can find an alternative. The nice thing about open source is you do not need any serial or key to use them and there are no limitations or irritating watermarks placed on the videos.

All I did was Google "open source alternative to video pad video editor" to find this page. Similar search wording might find others as well. Like just searching "open source linear video editors" or similar.
