What's your favorite video editor?

Hey,

I'm trying to get into video editing, and I'm just wondering which is best for someone that's *not* necessarily technically advanced?

Thanks!

    Windows Movie Maker, and if you have a Mac, then the iMovie tool is pretty neat, away from standard solutions such as those mentioned above... You also have Sony Vegas, and if you use the help of Adobe After Effects Project Files (Which you can buy for $5, $10, $15, $20+) then Adobe After Effects is also a great solution.

      Do you know if the earlier version CamStudio will work just as good? Although it's a free download, I heard that the output video won't work in some browsers.

    I use Camtasia for most of my screencast and Powerpoint videos and it works great and is very simple to use. They also have a trial if you want to check it out. For more complex effects I will use Sony Vegas and they also have a trial available from what I remember.

    Sony Vegas is great. After effects can do some really great editing stuff if you know what your doing!

    If you are looking for best professional video editing software you can try pinnacle, or adobe premier they are good have lot of features. or if you just want zooming , panning, and transition sound mixing you can use camtasia.

    Camtasia with the Powerpoint add-in is pretty much an all purpose set up for most of my needs.

    I still use Windows Movie Maker. You can make some nice videos with WMM.
