Thanks for the reply, Harmy. I've read through ADigitalMan's Guide, and it's very good but still leaves much for me to discover. One problem with using that guide is that I would like to work in an HD format and the guide is a bit on the outdated side for that. I'll just have to look over the the tech forum more and maybe ask a few questions there.
Sony Vegas sounds good, though I hear that its kind of complicated. Maybe I should just pick a program and try to learn it, instead of giving many programs a quick look, only to be left confused by each ones differences.
