Start with Windows Movie Maker. I'm serious.




I'm using WinXP and I believe MM v.2.0 is the last one that is available for it.

Unfortunately MM is the only software on my computer (out of dozens and dozens) that crashes without fail each session.

It's simply unusable for me.




OK, red flag... Of all the movie making programs I've tried, Windows movie maker is by far the least resource hog. If WMM crashes and burns, I'd say there's a high lkelihood that other video programs may have problems too... compounded by the extra memory etc they require.

You may want to contact microsoft to see if you/they can determine why WMM crashes all the time. I agree with the others that WMM is probably the easiest way to get started.

Even if you don't want to use WMM, anything you learn about why it crashes will probably help you use other video programs more efectively.
