What is the good software for Video?

Right now i am using Window movie maker for making video. i want to step forward and use a good video maker. any idea what is good?

I use Serifs MoviePlus X5 (X6 is out now) you can get a free version (which I believe is based on X5) here http://www.serif.com/f​ree-video-editing-software/ I also saw an advert somewhere for X5 at £19.99 a few days ago.

Adobe Premiere Elements...Sony Vegas (the non pro versions)

Depends how deep into videography you are wanting to go. If you just want something with a little more oomph than movie maker Premiere elements does the trick, and if you want something professional there is the adobe creative suit, or sony vegas.

Thanks guys. I think i will go with the premier.

I tend to use Vegas but am becoming more and more into HitFilm Ultimate the more I use it.

AVID and Premiere Pro are editors of choice for professionals. Premiere is the way to go for DSLR footage if you have a fast enough machine. You can also get Davinci Resolve for free, it can do some editing, but it is mostly a color grading and finishing program.

I use Final Cut Pro X

^ he is using windows. FCP is not an option for him.

Sony Vegas Platinum is the consumer version of Vegas and is WAAAAY more powerful than you'll need as you're learning I'm sure. (I'm sure all of the consumer versions of pro editors would be as well).
It is pretty amazing how powerful these $100 editors are now-a-days.

It really is especially considering that less than 15 to 20 years ago there really was no such thing as a non linear editor outside of the biggest and most expensive Hollywood studios.

light fighter , keep in mind if u are running the newer mac 10.08 , there are some compatibility issues with elements

When I first started, I learned by using vegas. Now I use premiere.

I have to 2nd BrickR's recommendation of Sony Vegas Platinum. it's basically Sony Vegas (pro version) but limited to 10 audio and 10 video tracks. A powerful consumer product! I've edited several web series and numerous personal videos with it. I've used Vegas (pro) for many years and the lighter version is very impressive for $100, and much less a resource hog on your PC.
Bonus, you can find many MANY videos on YouTube for tutorials to help with the learning curve. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the pro looking videos you can produce with it.

Again thanks, now i got the adobe premier 11. i mean it's not bad better than windows movie maker. i am thinking about getting the Sony vegas and try it.
