I know that if you want something simple that compares to iMovie for Mac, you can get Movie Maker for Windows. I would never suggest that to anybody because I could rarely complete a film in Movie Maker back in the day because it always froze on me.

Anyway, if you are interested in starting to edit, what I did as a beginner was get a software called Corel Video Studio. It was easy enough for me to get the hang of as well as do the things I wanted it to do. Eventually I upgraded to the Final Cut Pro studio and Premiere Pro from Adobe. But Corel was a very nice piece of equipment for me starting out.

I wouldn't recommend Sony Vegas, it's not user friendly. It's really hard to deal with. I always love my Final Cup Pro, but it's much too advance for anyone just starting out in the editing world. If you plan on using any advance software Final Cut Pro is the way to go because of the ease of access and tools. It's the fastest thing I've ever edited on and I've used hundreds of video softwares.

I would go with Corel VideoStudio X5 - screen recording, HTML5 support, DVD & BR authoring plus all manner of effects, filters and toys. Lots of room to grow & intuitive, and more frequent feature enhancement & bug swat patches than Adobe does for Premiere Elements.

I agree: Sony Vegas is a mess.

VideoStudio tutorials are on both Vimeo and YouTube. This overview should give you a feel for it.

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
