2) Ulead Video Studio

3) Sony Vegas

You can download a free trial of the software mentioned above. If your more interested in free software, there is a new, better alternative to Windows Movie Maker. VideoSpin is a brand new video editing tool which is completely free. If your looking for free video edting software other than VideoSpin take a look at my first source.

Windows movie maker is free, comes with windows, and is used a lot for youtube videos. It should be in your start menu.

Answer 4

Setting up a Web site is very easy and if you want to do it for free just go to http://www.freewebs.com (or any of the most popular free hosts listed below).

If you have specific requirements (e.g. your own domain) then there are a few things you will need to do to prepare to build your site.

1) You should learn HTML and you can for free at http://www.w3schools.com/

2) You will need an HTML editor unless your are proficient in HTML and can use notepad. Adobe Dreamweaver http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweave... is the best and you can download a free trial. The best free one is NVU: http://www.nvu.com/

3) Then you need to find a host and if you are willing to pay a nominal fee then http://www.godaddy.com would be your best option.

Answer 5

The industry standard is Avid.  However it's not cheap and it's not easy to learn

Answer 6

I like VideoWave by Roxio. Part of Roxio Easy Media Creater. I have access to some of the more advanced apps like Adobe and Pinnacle, but keep coming back to this one for the speed and Ease of use. Just the right size.
