Anyone got a good recommendation for a easy-to-use, but powerful video editor, preferably suited for movies. Windows Movie Maker is OK, but it is SEVERELY limited, and has so few features. Sony Vegas is way too complicated.

You can try Adobe Premiere or Adobe After Effects but they're much harder than to learn and master. Sony Vegas is as simple and professional as they come. But if you insist on not using Vegas then you might wanna try Sony Movie Studio (or whatever it's called..)

You can try PowerDirector by CyberLink. Its quite simple to use and has a lot of different features to use.

A nice feature-filled newbie-friendly video editor I know of is ULead VideoStudio. It doesn't compare to Adobe Premiere, which is the best video editor I've ever used, but it's a nice starting point before you move up. Since the last time I used it, it's been bought by Corel, but here's a link to it: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1175714228541#versionTabview=tab0&tabview=tab0@InternetHero: After Effect isn't a true video editor, it's designed to essentially do special effects, but is not really designed to act like a video editor, that's why Adobe has premiere. |

@InternetHero: Great suggestion, I'm downloading the Vegas Movie Studio Platinum trial right now!
@banancanard: Thanks, I'll try that if I don't like Vegas.
@mm3guy: I actually have ULead VideoStudio 4 SE. And it's from 1997. Maybe I'll try out a newer version sometime.

I use Vegas 8, it's relatively easy. I also use Adobe After Effects, which is not the least user friendly. There is also Pinnacle Studio which is easy, but like Windows Movie Maker, it pretty much has the same crap in everyone's movies who uses it.

I tried. There isn't a decent EASY-TO-USE open-source video editor out there. LiVES and Cinerama are for professionals who got a degree. That does not include me.  |

Opensource is good, but people must remember that not everything is opensource.
