Review by Brian Kelly

I am not a professional videographer or anything, but I like to be able to record gymnastics, dance recitals, etc. and then be able to crop, zoom, add titles, and so on before burning them off to DVDs to send to the grandparents. I had been doing this using various free software (e.g., Windows Movie Maker to edit, DVD burning to burn, etc.) and thought I would give this a try.

This is absolutely a better tool for the job. I was able to figure out how to use it without hitting the Help feature once (which will get you up to three stars all by itself!). A beginner should have no problem editing and making movies in no time. Everything that I need is all in one product and in reality, it has far more features than I need, but now that I have them, I will figure out a way to put them to use.

Definitely recommend for the home enthusiast.
