Thats Movie Maker 2, As far as I know that is the only free editing program out there. However it has alot of problems (hence this whole forum) The more commonlly used programs are
Sony Vegas ($100-$700 aprx) the cheepist I have seen an older version of vegas for was around $80 new versions are about 700 but this is a very powerfull editor that alot of people use
Premier ($400 i think, never really followed up on this one) Iv never really looked too hard into this one but iv seen some really good videos made with it
Magix ($50) This is the one I use. I find for the price it works much better then WMM but still has some issues, for he price however, it cant be beat
Post Production:
The two post production programs you will commonlly hear about are
Particle illusion ($99-$399) Has alot of interesting effects you can use however, if somebody doesnt know how to use it properlly they will overdue to preset effects and it will just look borring and old, so only look into this if you willing to put in the time to learn and really play around with it (at least thats my advice from what iv seen)
Adobe After Effects (?-$999) Im sure you could find an older version much cheeper if you looked, when it comes to effects this seems to be the standard. I havnt had a chance to exsperiment with it yet (Prob. because ill end up loving it and end up forking over wayyy too much $)
These are just a few of the more common programs youll see being used here im sure there are alot others out there. The prices may not be exact and im sure someone who uses these programs would know alot more about them then me. They offer trials (not sure about premier, never looked into that one) so you can play around and see whats best for you. They have a Forum here called Heads up, where people will post iv theyve seen an editing program (among other thing) on sale at a good price so keep your eyes open
