Like the title says, I want something better than Windows movie maker. I tried Pinnacle, but it did not work with gopro vids...and had to convert everything...

thanks for any info.

Converting is just something that you have to get used to. I have to convert to prores for FCP. It helps in the whole logging and reviewing footage.

well there's adobe premier if you're looking to torrent or spend money

if you're looking for free, I think Avidemux is one of the best

Premiere is defiantly your best bet. Just torrent away, Adobe doesn't need your money.

I started using Vegas 11 recently. You can get a lot out of it for a lot less than Premiere. Vegas Platinum package is $130, while Premiere is $700. I don't know which is better, but I like Vegas so far.
