I?m gonna create a trailer for my next game (is a project that i?m working about 10 years (!)). Is there any program freeware and easy to use to create trailers (videos)? :D

Well, most of such tools are not free, but now I've found this one:
http://camstudio.org/

I can't tell you about its quality as I have never used it, but maybe you can take a look.

EDIT
Here's another one:

By the way, did you know about a homepage named Safe creative?
It?s a global registry agency. Do you know about it? Is it safe to register in this homepage. Here?s the link:

No, I haven't heard of it, so I can't tell.

Maybe you are interested in a comment by a lawyer about legal problems that are not resolved according to him:

All in all, the author has seen a problem with putting through the legal side of this project. He has criticized that
- it is a project in a beta status (according to him it must be in alpha status to be really valid)
- the terms and conditions are solely written in English - whereas the home of this site is Spain. Therefore, as the author sees it, there might be a problem of the legal validity of the terms and conditions.
- that the Spanish law can't be applied world-wide, so even if they have their terms and conditions, it's not sure that these will be accepted in other countries in case of any problems with the copyright.

So what I have seen so far, there is no safety problem to register there - but there is still a question how good this project is able to protect your copyright in case that somebody else tries to use your work.

Yeah... it was good enough to be true. :(
Is there any other homepage with this kind of service?
Because here in Brazil, is very expensive ($$$) to register a work
(actually, everything here is expensive, hehehe :roll: )
