Vegas, without question if you are on a PC. Camstudio will do for a free solution, but Vegas' realtime nature changed the whole way of looking at the industry.

At the EXTREME high end, youll be missing a few FX (maybe anyhow, the guys at creative cow can write a plugin to do almost anything you can think of) compared to the AVID setup, but the realtime, drag and drop speed will make up for it.

We just finished our second video with vegas and Ive been mixing albums on it since 1998 (yeah its a good audio editor too, though today, audiowise Im more partial to REAPER  www.reaper.fm )

Yeah, FCP on mac is good too. Newer versions are starting to add some realtime tricks to not lose old customers to Vegas, but theres still an awful lot of rendering and waiting when auditioning fx and transitions.

On the plus side for FCP, there is a LOT more help books and third party support for it, as it is a much older app with a much bigger user base

Vegas? Are you kidding me? They didn't redefine anything.

That being said, 3 months out of Battle and I still can't get Avid to work on my computer anymore. LAME.:(

Errr

Vegas was the beginning of realtime transitions for video

Its GUI changed EVERYTHING we expect in the audio editing world

Simple small things that seem irrelevant but taken together have changed workflow speeds exponentially

Something as simple as Vegas' mousewheel time zoom, autocrossfades, ONE TOOL operation. Mono, stereo an/or on the same track, event editing, fade shape definition, flexible file formats, drag and drop media from anywhere, HD support back in 1998

Sorry dude, it changed a LOT

In both audio and video there was a lot of resistance from non technical luddites to these PC inspired ways of working, and in audio theres still a MAc-PT vs everything else silliness coming from luddite schools, but that doesnt change anything for those willing to embrace the technology

Maybe it's just because I never really tinkered with a copy of it. Think you could hook a brotha up? I'm always looking for new video programs to tool with since Avid is bunk on my PC.

If your just looking for something simple, with a very user friendly interface, you could probably find iMovie for free, since it comes with most Macs. Windows has a similar program (Windows Movie Maker?) that's on par with iMovie.
