Timm,
I use Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0
Bought it earlier this year at the Southwest Plaza area Comp USA when they were going out of business. Got it for like $69 BEFORE a $30 mail-in-rebate
So, for about $40 it is perfect. Probably not as "glamourous" as other programs but it is what I used to make the CM07 vids I put up on YouTube.
P.S. I saw that the Comp USA by Park Meadows is closing...You might find some good deals over there
P.P.S. On the whole Mac debate...Macs confuse the snot out of me...Do you still have to drag the drive icons over to the trash bin to eject disks? Always seemed so wrong to throw away the drive to get the stupid disk to eject
