I think it would provide you more helpful info.

Answer 2

Avid is the top of the line, but Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 is much cheaper and does similar quality to Apple's Final Cut Pro for Macs.  The Thompson Grass Valley software also fits in this category.

Going lower in price and capability include some others such as: Sony Vegas, The Pinnacle system (made by Avid), Ulead, Nero, and Roxio .

Top three from best to worst with decent affordability in mind:

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

Sony Vegas

Pinnacle

***  If you have tried MS Windows Movie Maker, and it fits your needs, and you don't need the other capabilities of other software, then USE IT.  There is nothing wrong with Microsoft software if it works for you.

Answer 3

Movie maker can do it but it is very limited.  Try Pinnacle.

Answer 4

wmmaker is good as an entry-level editor, but at some point where u'ved already honed ur skills and feel the need to go up a notch w/o investing a lot, try intermediate editors w/multiple tracks and more advanced transitions, effects & animation.

Try some for a limited period before buying.

Answer 5

adobe 4.0 works under $70. but other then that movie maker should be used. all sub $100 have a high crash rate. the adobe pro is over $500 if you need professional work done.
