Video Editing Software

[Gary Parker]

I am going to start exploring making videos for my web site. I am going to use a 1080dpi HD web cam. I will also be using a Cannon digital camera for other videos. I am very new to this and want to do some "amateur" stuff before I decide if I should get professional videos done.

My wish list is:
Low cost or free at first but will pay if I like
Need to merge two videos, 1 from web cam & 1 from camera, on occasion
Easy format to upload to youtube
The obvious cut and paste edit stuff

Any suggestions?
