Thanks for the suggestions. I've never even heard of those programs. I'm not sure what you're looking at, though, but the screenshots for that Vegas program make it look about 3 times more confusing than Premiere. That, and it retails for $560! That's the Premiere price range. I'm trying to get away from that.

Screenblast Movie Studio, on the other hand, is the right price range, but once again sounds like "Grandma's video editing software". When the first feature of a program is templates, I'm not optimistic about it. All the other features make it sound like it's not the right program.

I insist that there is an imaginary price that these companies have set for their products. When it comes to DVD creation software, companies like Pinnacle sell products for over $500. But then there's this one guy who made a program far better and more powerful than those programs (not to mention MUCH easier to use), and he's selling it for around $80. That's the kind of program I'm looking for. I've found it for images, I've found it for DVD creation, and now I'm determined to find it for video editing.
