    I'm looking to make my own trailers etc...just wondering if anyone can recommend a good easy-to-use and comprehensive free editing program? I used Pinnacle Studio before but that was a temporary demo.

    All depends what video format we're talking.

    AVI, wmv, mpeg, mkv, mov etc?

    VirtualDub or Avidemux if you're doing video.

    if you're working with audio only - Audacity

    +1 for Audacity. It's a powerful piece of free software for audio editing.

    Thanks everyone!:)

    Do these programs allow for mixing several audio files at once? For example with the trailers I'll be doing, I'll have sounds overlapping along with a background sountrack (music).

    Audacity does afaik. you could save it as one track and use that as your whole track. not sure about the video programs. haven't done anything major on them save for a few youtube vids
