My son won two gold medals in the National Scholastic Art and Writing Awards for his video games. We need to make a video greeting. However, he is having a hard time doing one perfect two minute take. Can anyone recommend any free/cheap and easy to use editing software?

You may want to try asking for film editors on craigslist. Maybe they'll do it cheap... and with experience.
When are you coming up to the Big Apple?

Congrats to your son Don! I use AVS avs4you.com but it's not very advanced. |

I have use ShowBiz for doing web and marketing videos a few years ago. It's basic, but has a story board drag and drop feature. Should do the trick. |

It depends on how intricate of an edit you are looking to do. If you have some experience and want to do something more specialized, you can get a 30 day trial of Adobe Premiere off their website. I don't think they watermark for trials.
If you're just looking to cut together a basic series of takes with some music and titles, even windows moviemaker (not sure if that's still what it's called) will get the job done. |

Guys,
Thanks for the info. I ended up using Windows Movie Maker which was just my speed.

Seems like you're finished. Lucky thing, because I know nothing about the subject anyway.
Just wanted to say congrats to your son on the gold medals and awards. |
