Default Semi Professional Video Editor Free

I'm making a 15 minute movie. It doesn't have to be very professional, but it has to be better than windows movie maker.

So far I have stand alone Wax 2.0 I can't find a support forum or a good tutorial other than the user guide. I also don't know if Wax is a good video editor.

Thanks

If you can define what you want to do (perhaps in reference to what WMM cannot do) we may be able to help.
Wax IS good if it does what you want it to do and does it reliably. Wax is not good if you require it to do other things or it behaves erratically. You've got it. You tell us!

I always get worried when I read people who feel they need 'transitions'. Most video editting packages come with a multitude of different transitions. There are exceptions of course but you can generally accept thatif you use anythign other thana simple cut or a dissolve once in a while then you've done it wrong.

i agree with you.

The point is that sometimes a simple transition could be something amazing. WMM don't allow you to adjust those settings etc.

and i also had bad exp with WMM...
