Hello proper film makers - can anyone suggest best editing software for PC for me to use quickly and easily for 5 minute type youtube vids etc. I was on a mac so used imovie when needed though the last update of it was annoyingly very different than the one Id last used a couple years earlier. Someone said it was more tricky than final cut pro and i should just go for that. Really? Is there not a PC equivalent of i-movie that will be less to get small head round? Any suggestions gratefully accepted.Thank you!

Hit Film Express 3 (free)
I'm fairly new to YouTube, but they provide a simple editing system for your videos once you upload them. You would probably have to upload the individual segments and then work with them in the YouTube editor. Not sure if this fairly simple editing tool will meet your needs.

iMovie isn't bad. I miss Final Cut Pro Seven. It was a powerful program.
Adobe Premiere - you could probably find a demi version onli e.

I very pleased my ignorance has made so many people happy! Rest assured it will be displayed often here!!
Windows Movie Maker is very basic and a good starting point but it's also very limited. I followed Movie Maker up with Adobe Premiere Elements, which has more capabilities and is a good learning transition to Premiere Pro.
