Software recommendation needed

WooPeeA

I'm looking for some video editing software.. I used Magix Video Maker before but I'm sick of unfriendly interface there... So tiring to make a zoom, lack of all options that I need, etc..

I used demo of Vegas and found it really good. I don't know much about software so can anyone recommend me something for non professional and half-professional short productions?

Pinnacle studio 11 is what i use, very resonable and easy to use. It is half price on there uk website at the moment.

What I'm looking for is:
- more than 5-6 sound "spaces" at the same time. (for ex. to add 5 songs played at the same time)
- more than 5-6 videos at the same time
- green background removing
- professional zoom with slowing down and changing position, not only line-speed zoom
- possibility to add new effects
- professional editing of videos (I'm not expecting video version of Photoshop, but MS Paint is not enough)
- many options of titles

Does it have all of these Tommy?

It has most of it if you go for the Ultimate version. playing 5 sound overlays and 5 vodeo overlays is pushing it a bit. I think that Adobe elements can play 99 video overlays, so I would expect it would have the capability to do 5 audio. Pinnacle studio 11 can do 3 audio and 2 video overlays.

I was really impressed yesterday by FX effects offered by Sony Vegas Studio.. Example:

By Adobe you mean Adobe Effects something or some other software?

sorry I ment adobe permiere pro. it is expensive .

My only experience is with Pinnacle studio . you can zoom, speed up, slow down video.
very easy to edit and there are many special effects. also you can make up a dvd etc. I have done 3 weddings so far and it has worked very well.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 all the way!
Expensive but worth it
