I'm just a beginner...
Up to now I've tried evaluation version of Pinnacle Studio. I've played
with MS movie maker too...
I had a look at adobe premier web site ant it seems a powerful sw, but
it costs 999$ and I cannot spend so much...
I'm used to work with open-source sw (openoffice, gimp, ...) but it
seems it doesn't exist a powerful free sw for video editing.

I'm a java programmer and I also thought to implement it manually using
java2d API... But the problem is that there's no good support for video
output.

What do you suggest?

Thank you a lot.
