video editing software

Yo..Anyone know anything about a good free video editing software? I tried a pirated sony vegas but i couldnt handle the fear of cops getting me, and it was to complicated to use with a shitty laptop. Now i have this free trial of corel video studio pro, and it would be good, if my laptop could handle the HD video whiile being edited. Its a pain in the ass to use while the video wont even play. I have an HD canon hf200, which creates new mts files, which most editing software cant handle. And dont tell me to change the file. I tried that and i wasted 8 hours because it doesnt work....I just wannt a video editor that can edit HD files.Anyone know anything? I created the vidoe i posted with the saw mask on with corel, but it was a pain, and im trying to do a longer video and it isnt working.

HD video(1920/1080) requires a lot of RAM to process. I would recommend 8GB+. You're not really going to get much done with a laptop unless you're spending a huge amount of money.

Vegas and adobe premiere pro is what you're looking at if you get a competent computer.

Free software in video editing doesn't much editing feature. To be professional edition it requires some cost.

I use Sony Vegas pro 8 (its a crack)
Its far better than all the free video editing software that is available, combined.

FWIW, cinelerra is probably the only Free video editing software to consider. I'm not sure if it can handle your file formats though. www.cinelerra.org.
