Editing Software

[Implacable]

Heya'.  I know this board is home to several frequent videomakers, so I put forth this question to the community: where can I find a good video creation/editing program?  I have a strong preference for free (as in Open Source, not as in BitTorrent), but I'd also like some software that's not ludicrously complex or idiosyncratic.  Thanks in advance.

Thank you!  Does anyone have any recommendations for which program I should use?

Just try all of the free trials that Adobe and Sony Vegas offer and see what you like most. Sony has 3 different softwares to accomodate basically every level in editing, so try all three so you can determine what you think you will and won't need.
