Do you have a computer? Both recent Windows PC and Mac
machines come with basic video editing software included.

Do you have a camcorder? It is very helpful to mention what
you are starting with (brand and model number) to give us an
idea where you coming from.

The people that hang around here likely cover the entire gamut
from overworked professionals shooting and editing night and
day as their primary business, to casual hobbiests, and parents
taking the occasional video of a birthday party or vacation, etc.
