If it's for audio, AUDACITY is free. For video, Mac's Garageband and iMovie are free.

I found videopad to be pretty good. Its based off Adobe Première so the interfaces are similar, although videopad does feel less cluttered.

I have friends using Corel video studio, I think it is $80 and they love it for small projects.

Adobe has a month trial for all their products if you can get your project done in one month :) After that, it is $50 a month. Alternatively there is Apple's FCPX, I don't have any experience with FCPX but I hear that is pretty user friendly.

I found it pretty easy to maneuver through Sony Vegas Movie Suite. If you are just looking to put some clips together and even some small time effects. It is fairly cheap, around $50. Also depending on how small the project, just for videos you can use Windows Movie Maker and it's free.

Thanks. Will check it out. Appreciate you response.

HI Bonnie, There are countless Youtube tutorials out there. Adobe just released its 2015 update of Premiere CC so many of the videos will be slightly outdated but the content should be helpful nonetheless (and it's free!!). Best of luck to you - I've been a loyal Premiere user for almost a decade now! Jeremy

Adobe has great tutorials for beginners that can help you get a grasp of every function Premiere (or any other Adobe software) has to offer. You can see them here: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/tutorials.html If you have a specific question, you can message me and I can probably point you in the right direction :)
