Video editing software

I've used Windows Movie maker for XP, AVS 3, AVS 4, and now I'm using Adobe Première pro CS3. I use the latest one mainly because it's very flexible, and allows White Balancing - the most useful function to have when dealing with underwater footage. Other functions I love to use are "levels" gamma correction, sharpening, anti alialising. What I also use is Adobe Audition Pro CS3, really useful for eliminating noise and making audio clear and functional.
The camera I use is really cheap and consequently I'm a heavy user of software to brush up the poor source material - Some wouldn't believe how poor the source material actually was...

But I must say that the Windos Movie maker does have a very easy title feature, but I yet have to find out how it's done in Première pro.

download some trial versions and see what works for you. Adobe indeed has a longer learning curve, but after a few days it will start to shine and you'll start to appreciate it, when you like quality and precision.

I found exactly the same Jonny, but I also found you can get a version of the old Movie Maker that works just fine on Windows 7.

I use XP on a 2.8 GHZ P4 - 1GB DDR 400 Ram.

Great tip Magpie!

Sony vegas is a pretty easy program to use and yet very powerful if you learn it.
