For editing videos to upload to social networks or for everyday sharing, you don't need a complex and demanding editing suite where finding the button to cut a file takes longer than actually cutting it. Machete Lite is a simple but very skillful video editor focused on trimming your videos and other quick and more intensive editing actions. Intuitive, useful, and free; a perfect combination.
The overabundance (always appreciated, by the way) of means to record, upload and share videos has made many who would never have dreamed of manipulating a trimmer controller or a juggling end up in front of a video editing program.
But to upload a video that combines the quintessential viral component 'baby + kitten', you don't need heavy editing or HD or anything. You take it out of your digital camera, and while you're still laughing or dreaming of being the new Internet sensation, you can edit it with various options in some small software. If we're talking about small and light, a 2.5 MB video editor specialized in cutting videos can be of help. That is Machete Lite.

Machete has a host of functional offerings that include some of the most common concepts in any editor, such as the ability to trim different videos to copy them and generate loops or slow-motion repeats, move them to create a different organization of images, or mix the cut parts. It also includes everything related to specific video editing actions, taking file trimming with two processes like cutting and trimming, and also joining them through pasting, combining and mixing processes.
The controls of Machete Lite are always visible, and although its interface may seem a bit simple and even outdated, this quickly becomes one of its advantages given its ease of use and the quick discovery of the functions we want for editing videos.
Supported Formats and Preservation of Quality
Regarding the formats it supports, we can mention AVI and WMV, although all codecs associated with these formats should also be supported without problems. This limitation in formats is probably one of its most criticizable points, because in terms of image processing and quality, the support of associated codecs makes Machete Lite contribute strongly to preserving the quality of original files after editing, which is not at all destructive.
Final Verdict
That said, if you don't have very high technical expectations and you're interested in a video editor that doesn't make you work much and gives good results, Machete Lite is a good option for Windows. For those who want a bit more of Machete, it has a much more complete paid version.
