Hi guys, question here on video editing software/programs. Brief history, I had an ArcSoft ShowBiz program embedded in an old HP tower computer years ago that worked flawlessly. Easy to edit, add text, add music, add effects and wrap-up to dvd. That computer died long ago. Next program I bought was a Corel Ulead moviefactory 6, worked great for years with my old vid camera.
FF to last Xmas, opened a Sony Handyman HD vid and assumed, " wow, here is the 21st century!! All ok until I tried to load the cameras ".mts" files into Corel. These files would have to be converted first for Corel to even see it! Time for a change of vid editing software
. Came across ArcSoft ShowBiz5 and remembering my past figured, "yippee,what could go wrong?" Well after 6 months of frustration with this software I am about to un-instal it and suck up the $65 loss. What a piece of phoney-baloney. Horrible software. Difficult to navigate,edit,title, yada-yada. The help is not helpful. Waste of money and time.
Back to my question. Can anyone here reco a good easily navigable vid processing software that is under a C-note? And are there any that allow previews so I dont waste coin again?
Thanks a bunch,
Steve Hope.

Adobe Premier is super capable software but not very user friendly.
I actually really like imovie, comes free on mac's so I guess it wont really help you but for basic editing, its more than enough.
Found this reddit link from 2 months back that outlines some good suggestions. I did not create this list, just found it while browsing around a while back, hope it helps!
Another redditor here. Aliens untie! er..unite!
Wooo Reddit!
Oh no, they're onto me! haha, nice to meet fellow redditors outside of reddit!
Feel free to add me as a friend! Same name there as here.
Thanks guys, I knew I could count on some good guidance here. I will take some time to review all options, but as you have said, I dont need a movie studio suite, I only require a way to edit vid, maybe add titles, add tunes, and burn to dvd for a grandparent disc to see grandson. Basic really, so I thank you for the info.
