I decided it was time to replace my four year old video editing software. I began my search on CNet where I was able to view charts comparing the various selections. Then I downloaded samples to test. (I was particularly concerned with screen capture features inasmuch as my old software was terrible for this function). I settled on Corel VideoStudio and this is my first project. Yes, I have a long way to go, but I've done enough to see that it is intuitive to use and provides good value for the price. I could have spent more but it's doubtful that I would use something more powerful.
