the staff at pcworld were hopeless as usual

i think the VirtualDub open source college project is fair video editing fer free. Especially with an additional Filter Pack.

On the more pro side; Ulead Video9 is good, has a free 30day trial like all Ulead products. It also accepts Flash instances etc. to Fancy stuff up.

Win XP Moviemaker freebie that automatically installs with SP2 has some tools; but leans more towards slideshow effects i think. The best thing about this version of MS PLus is extension of the transition pack for MovieMaker 1 IMLHO. MM2 is out now, and even better.

i looked at ulead amongst others.....they all were around about the same price.

Ulead is free? Before you buy anything, follow the link I gave above and then the link in it to the list of software. You may well find something suitable at no cost.

If you're loking for professonal level, but easy to use, software, take a look at Vegas Video. It's owned by Sony now, but the authors originally worked as graphics programmers for Microsoft.

Here's their web site: http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/products/showproduct.asp?PID=965
