Gaming video editing

[BedtimeGuy]

i need an easy to use program for video editing to use for a school project. i would really prefer if it was free, but if there is a trial that would last about 10 days+ that would be fine too. i have used THIS program for the last project i had to do video editing, and i really like the interface(specifically that it used separate "tracks" for video audio etc.) however... the trial is up! if you can find anything that is free, or has a trial version that has a "track" system that would be great!

Windows Movie Maker?

What exactly do you need to do? Depending on your needs there is Virtualdub which is free. You can also use avisynth which supports a huge variety of free plugins and scripts.

Avisynth requires an external program to process your movie file, so a combination of avisynth + Virtualdub is good.

I like the simplicity of After Effects! Maybe you will too!

my needs are as simple as adding clips together, cutting some, adding transitions, and titles. it's also important that i can add separate music (eg mute the audio from a clip and replace it). windows movie maker is... an interesting idea... albeit a little fail

Windows Movie Maker has come through for me many times. But, if you are using Vista or 7, give Live Movie Maker[1]. It's the big brother of Windows Movie Maker; however, it doesn't run on XP.

Sony Vegas Pro. There's a trial of 30 days but it's awesome. I even used it to make this:
