The only software I use is Sony Vegas 10.0.
I find it easy, and very useful.
I like Adobe After Effects, it's my favorite.
I learned how to use Final Cut in school. I hated it because I couldn't figure out any of the keyboard shortcuts because I am a windows guy. I tried out Premiere pro and I liked it a lot better. It worked the same as final cut except I could figure out all the shortcuts with just my knowledge of how windows programs usually work.
I'd choose Sony Vegas 10. It's easy to use once you get the hang of it. I also like to use Adobe After Effects although I'm not too experienced with it.
Personally my favourite editing program would be After Effects.
It works best with Premiere at it's side, but usually I use it solo, without Premiere.
Personally, I think it does Premiere's job well, but Premiere is more dedicated to video editing itself rather than effects, but you can also do some effects in Premiere.
Pretty much, for me, it's team Adobe.
camtasia and windows live movie maker
I'm not really that experienced but I like camtasia. It's a pretty good program for what I do which is just basic stuff.
Sony vegas! That's like te best one you can get! IF You use a cracked key!
Sony vegas mostly but I'm still trying to catch the hang of it.
Confuses me and fucks me over a lot.
My favorite is Sony Vegas because of all the good features it has.
