No professional video editing suites that I know of have the ability to split clips...if you want a really "good" video editor, chances are you're going to have to split the clips yourself. It's a pain, but it's more accurate and you may end up saving yourself some hard drive space by not making clips that you know you won't be needing.
If you want my recommendation, I use Vegas and I like it a lot. The interface isn't too complicated if you're coming from a program like WMM, there's a nice guide at the top of this forum to get you started, and it doesn't freeze, ever.
Well, that last part's a lie. It's crashed on me about ten times, but that was only when I was using *extensive* masking, by which I mean mask on top of mask on top of mask, etc. Other than that it's a very stable program. And there are quite a few effects.
Of course...you're going to have to drop a pretty hefty wad of cash to get it...
