your original post needs like 10 more periods and three separate paragraphs
windows movie maker on vista and xp was sufficient to make a good Avatar Music Video, and it was intuitive, though crashy. it was only at a disadvantage because it was a linear editor, which means you either have to piece your video together from start to end, or put in placeholder clips to work out of order.
the new windows live movie maker is pretty difficult to use though, imo. they got rid of the clips window, the timeline is difficult to work with. the ribbon menu is horribly set up, there's like 8 functions wmm can do and they spread it across five different tabs. it's like they dumbed it down, except it's also harder to use.
i was considering going back from avisynth to wmm for editing, but after seeing wmm on windows 7, i'd only go to wmm in windows xp. avisynth is also a lot easier to work with in windows 7 now, with the pin taskbar thingy.
