Give the windows editor a go first - you might be happy with that.

Vegas and the reat can be quite intimidating to the new filmmaker.

I'll second that.

Windows Movie Maker is good as far as it goes, but it is fairly limited.

I use Premiere Pro 1.5 but when I first downloaded the free trial (way back whenever it was) I took one look at it, swore a bit and gave up. But it does have many more tools and ways to enhance video footage. I haven't used the latest version but if you do end up with 1.5 (which still turns up on ebay), I can certainly give you a few hints and tips on how to use it for what you need.

Try out the trial version first or better still try out the trial versions of a few video editors, you'll see them listed on this forum and see which one you like best and which one works best on your computer setup.
