Video editing software?

I'm looking for a good piece of software for small-time video editing. A feature that I want the most is frame-by-frame capabilities so I can add in like lightsabers or some shit. Money is not an issue, all suggestions are welcome (except for Windows Movie Maker since that's a piece of shit).

I used sony vegas pro the first time i did lightsabers, it didn't turn out to bad. I think after effects has some sort of tracking thing that makes it alot easier but i'm not entirely sure. But Vegas pro does have frame by frame masking.

I used Final Cut Pro in a video class I took, wasn't too bad. Not sure if it's for Macs only though.

Song Vegas for sure. Its fairly complex and complicated, but has the most features and wonderful quality. It can also be expensive so I should find a torrent.

i use Sony Vegas PRO 8.0. I have had it for about 1 Year.

I torrented it. Hard to work at first but great when you get used to it.

Good for titles and frame by Frame work.

You can also use the green screen.
If you are looking for effects. Use 'Adobe After Effects'

I'd go for Corel VideoStudio, it's awesome.

Recording = Camtasia 6.0 for Best Quality

Editing = Sony Vegas 8.0


You can purchase them if you wish, but you could also get them for free *Wink*

If money is not an issue, I would go with Final Cut Pro 7. It is the premier video editing software. If you don't have a mac, I would go with Adobe Premier Elements.
