Good "movie makers....???"?

Question

Hey,

I am trying to find a good "movie maker" to upload my videos from my video camera to YouTube.....I like iMovie, but I don't have an Apple/Mac....so that won't work. I have tried Windows Movie Maker, but i can't figure out how to work it....??

Please and thank you :-)

Video  Editing * Process

for starters, free Windows Movie Maker* (XP-wmm2 & Vista-wmm6) provides simple & easy way to learn the ropes < click help for details>. Upgrade to other video editing app

( http://video-editing-software-review.top... )

accdg. to need & skill level.

(**If format not supported by wmm, upload vcam files via file mgmt-windows explorer:

- Hdd (USB connect vcam to pc);

- DvD (thru pc dvd reader);

- Flash Media (thru card reader),

then convert to avi or wmv (try Prism, Super, Kate’s, etc.)

Steps:

CAPTURE VIDEO:  video stream from tape-based Vcam

a.) Connect miniDV or digi-8 vcam to pc via FIREWIRE cable (4 or 6 pin) for best transfer (USB w/quality concern)

b.) Set vcam mode to playback, set for capture, pause

c.) Open wmm and set to TASK pane

d.) Click Capture from video device; wmm  controls vcam operations- on play, video stream is captured to wmm/COLLECTION

IMPORT FILES:  from pc folder

e.) Import converted video files**  

f.) Import other files: pics, music, narration

EDIT MOVIE:  create project- movie  

g.) Drag&drop video files from collection to TIMELINE chart below at the desired sequence

h.) Enhance video: drag&drop music, effects, transition; create titles…re-edit as you wish

FINISH MOVIE: render muvee file

i.) Render/Save MUVEE to pc-> can upload to youTube; also save project file (work-in-progress) for future edits.
