I just bought a $30 webcam (which is great for my purposes) and I just use windows movie maker (free with XP) to make stop-motion animations and the like... you can just take jpgs (from your digital camera or ones you draw on your computer or elsewhere) and stitch them together in WMM... I also have PaintShop Pro which comes with Animation Shop for doing the same...

There are all kinds of free editing software out there. If you need something kind of powerful, there is avid free dv. It is capable of doing very powerful things if you learn how to use it.\n\nThere are other programs out there like Cinelerra which is linux based. If you do a search on yahoo, you can find it. It has a huge learning curve, so plan ahead.\n\nIf you need a simple edit program there are a few out there, movie maker on pc, i movie on the mac, there are also a few online. (Go to We Are The Media, and look for past articles on free editing software.)\n\nThere are also some very good programs available from your local electronics store with price tags from $40 to a hundred dollars. They can be worth the price if you want to edit a lot of video quickly.\n\nHope that helps,\nTony

There are much better movie editing software programs out there.  I recommend Ulead® VideoStudio 10 Plus.  (and if you don't care about doing dolby digital sound then the normal one is fine)\n\nIt won the PC Magazine's Editor's choice.  I personally use it, and I have done some professional looking videos. \n\n99 bucks for the Plus version, 59 bucks for the normal version.  Well worth the cost, very easy to use.\n\nand if you want the professional, its only 199.  \n\nAll come with a free trial as well!  Try before you buy.

I don't know if it's "the best" but it's definitely easy to use and offers more than just the basics. It's Windows Movie Maker which comes with Windows XP. Allows you to import clips, including importing footage from a camcorder etc. There's a wide variety of output options in terms of quality, and actually editing and mixing your video is easy. Dozens of transitions, fades, brightness filters, effects, volume adjustments etc. and you can add in music of your own as well. I use it all the time to edit my digital camera movie clips as well as ones I take with my Sony Handycam.\n\nP.S. - The latest update (2.1) offers DVD burning capabilities - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx

The cheapest route would probably to get a Mac computer and use iMovie a program that comes with all Macs).  Also for Macs is editing software called "Final Cut Pro."  It's very expensive ($1200) but it's what the pros use.

Windows Movie Maker.  It is free in Windows XP.  I only have Windows 98, so I use this site:\nhttp://www.onetruemedia.com/otm_site/register?p=814f0caef5e23d688b9be&utm_source=otm&utm_medium=embed\nalso I tried this software: http://www.kcsoftwares.com/index.php?p2m\nIt was kind of hard to understand at first.\nIf you have a newer computer, Windows Movie Maker is the easiest.

20+ years selling software retail.\n\nI liked this PC Magazine article, which reviews the best programs for video editing.\nhttp://www.pcmag.com/category2/0,1874,4835,00.asp\n\nMY top choices.\n\n1.  Adobe Premiere Pro 2.   If you have the money theres only one choice.  Money buys the best.   \n\nPC World, March 2006\n  Premiere Pro 2.0 is the most scalable, efficient, and precise video-editing software available." \n\n2.  Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 Suite.  The Poor Man's Cadillac.    The affordable choice which will run circles around anything thats not Adobe.

Windows Movie Maker usually comes free on Windows platforms.  It allows for putting clips and music together. \n\nI've also heard of Ulead Video Studio and Edit Studio, but I don't know anything about them.
