Video editing software?

Question by toodles_1399: Video editing software?
I have a panasonic Digital camcorder, and i am doing a project for my school.

I along w/ my group have to hypothetically teach our class a chapter from Jeremiah.

so i came up with the idea to make a movie (documentary style) of the chapter; some talking, some animated battle, etc. what i was wondering was which video editing software would be the best to use? we would need to superimpose “titles” onto the screen (i.e. “John doe, Scholar”), and we would need to somehow get a battle scene and splice it in.

can anyone offer any insight? thanks.

I can’t say what would be the best. I also don’t know what computer you’re running, but…
Windows Movie Maker (Windows XP and Vista) and iMovie (Mac) both come with their respective operating systems FREE. These could do simple title animation and other things.

If you want high end, but expensive, software then try Adobe After Effects ($ 800-ish).

Also try googling this. There’s plenty of video editors out there.
