Answer 1

Hi Samantha - Unfortunately iMovie is not actually a free piece of software. it is a bundled piece of software that comes as part of a preinstalled package (iLife). I think iLife costs about $70.

However there are other Mac based video editing tools which are free. You might want to have a look at these

Hyperengine A-v : Trackless video editing for the Mac

Avidemux - One of the more stable and complete tools out there

Blender - Big and complicated and professional level. Sure to do what you want if you can master the steep learning curve and the wierd user interface.

Other than that you're into the 'big guns' such as Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro

Yahoo! Answers community guidelines prohibit me from posting the link to my web site which has a complete list of these tools. A quick look at my profile will yield that information, though.
