Phil, I used Powerdirector free trial. I found it OK but there were a few annoying things. Like when you edited the length of clips the music changed length too and I found it crashed regularly. Also the waveform for the music was pretty much useless. It worked though and coped with the HD footage. I'm going to try Premier free trial for my next project.

I did my brother in laws wedding video on windows movie maker, worked well enough that I made a profit selling on to the interested parties. Made the first dance better than reality as I over dubbed the original sound track with an album version of the song to avoid the back ground noise.

have a look at serif 'movie plus'. they regularly offer it for 29.99 so call them rather than buy from the www and haggle them down.

admittedly i hav'nt use it, but i do have some other serif products and they are very user freindly.

I use Sony Vegas Pro. It's proper powerful, but you need to read/watch some tutorials because it is pretty complex.

Runs fine on my old Athlon 3800 dual core with 4GB, so will be fine on your new powerhouse.

how does vegas pro handle .mov files? or are you using a different format? 🙂

I'm using mp4 but I'm pretty sure it handles .mov as it pretty much does everything including pro level stuff.
