Finding a video editing program or software

Hello, I often make home movies of my family and I for birthdays and holidays and I would like to find a very nice video editing program or software. I am willing to buy the program or software so if its not freeware, it's fine .. I'd love to know about it.

I found Nero 7 Ultra Edition and it sounds like it would be a great all-in-one solution for video editing and a little more.

Is this a good solution or is there a better program out there?

Thanks ,

Gracie

 

I have used something called "video edit magic" with some success.
I found it easy to use and it had all features I needed.
You can try it free for a 30-days period.
Use google and search for "video edit magic".

Hello,
I might sound like some granny, but VirtualDub is fine.
Open-source and free.
Mrk

 

Try adobe's programs. Adobe audition for sound, and adobe encore for video.

 

Or VirtualDubMod, based on VirtualDub.

Thanks everyone! I will look into each program and see what works best for me .

You will really need two programs. One for cutting, editing and joining your clips and one for authoring. That is putting your clips in order and adding menus . I found the best program for editing, after trying many is VideoRedo plus. others wear by Womble.Both are available for 30 day trials.
The best program I found for authoring is Sony DVD architect.
