    Ive looked at alot of differant software, but im hoping to find somebody whos used differant editing programs before that can answer some questions. The software isnt cheap, and i want to make sure that it's going to be a worthy purchase. I've used iMovie and Final Cut Pro, but i dont know if they run aswell or run at all on windows.

    Thanks for the help.

    Try Adobe Premiere Pro. There's alot of plugins availble for it, and if you want to go more with effects, you can also try Adobe After Effects. I've used Premiere for about 3 years now, and the latest version is quite stable in Windows as long as you have a decent PC.

    Ive actually been looking at Adobe, but didnt know how user friendly it was. I've only ever used iMovie or final cut pro, and I have heard that those are both pretty easy to use, and im afraid im going to get some software thats just going to be way over my head. But I'm narrowing down my options now.

    Thanks for the help.
