making a documentary - any sharewares?

[le_poete_mourant]

hi all,

I'm filming a documentary following two high school musicians-- one guitarist and one pianist-- at an arts-focused high school as they attempt to figure out what it will take to be successful as a musician professionally. 

The editing process would go much faster if I could download a program to my home laptop, instead of depending on the computers at in the lab.  Does anybody use video editing shareware/freeware that does a good job with editing and also can do video capture from a digital camera (i have a canon)? 

I have looked at "Blaze Media Pro" and this page: https://www.snapfiles.com/Shareware/gmm/swvideoedit.html
any reccomendations of these?

You can use the freeware program VirtualDub. There are many VirtualDub tutorials available on the web.
