Generally no. Most free applications do things like render, convert and extract video data, rather than offering editing options, special effects etc.
You can produce a pretty good video with Windows Movie Maker, but for more effects you really need a fuller featured program.
Sometimes you will get a program disc (like ULead) with the purchase of video camera or similar, ask around relatives and friends, perhaps they have something on disc they will never actually install.
Apart from that I can't offer any other options.
