Have a look at the little brother of Vegas: Movie Studio 13 ($49.95). It's a nice way to get your feet wet with video editing. Have a look at the YouTube videos if you want to learn more about it.
Here is the link the Sony website: Movie Studio 13
And here is a view of the Movie Studio editing window. Looks just like Vegas.
I made this with Movie Maker. My bud Copa wrote and sang and produced the song.
Was a simple process just add the pics and then the Soundtrac on the audio portion. Took longer to find the pics!
Anyway feel free to share the Vid>
