Obviously it's dependent on your OS (Mac OS X/Microsoft Windows), but a good all around editor is Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5

Works on both systems and it very in-depth

For this I would wait.

I've experimented with Avid and as great as it is, it would be very confusing for just starting off. Besides, when the 64-bit edition drops it will be much better. Anybody know when thats gonna be?

I agree with you completely I just thought I would throw that out there just incase the OP wanted to tackle something like that.

Oh yeah for sure I completely understand. OP I like to use Premiere with After Effect, it has a couple nice features and usually it's good to download bullet looks once you get more into editing.

Vegas 11 pro has been working great for me lately. I've heard some bad things about premiere, if you have a fast computer and need fast turn around times, edius is great as well.

The best editing software is one you use. Pick Premiere or FCP and learn them inside and out.

don't download it off pirate bay. Get the free trial from the Adobe site and then find a serial number online. Premiere/After effects is much nicer than Vegas IMO
