You can download Magix for free, but it will not be the full version.

Still, it is better than WMM.

Well, you can check this list, but I wouldn't get my hopes up to find whatever you're looking for. You're gonna have to drop a little cash to get the good stuff.

premiere is fine... it's the clips that make it go slow.
...the same is true of any editing prog i know.
you can edit really fast using the Bait and Switch technique [once you get it all figured out] everything goes really smooth... even with a slow computer.

You basically fool premiere into using a low quality version of your source for editing... but still export using the higher quality original. Here is how to do it:

1.recompress your source with a FAST codec [like the<a href="http://www.pegasusimaging.com/picvideo.htm">PICvideo MJPEG</a>codec]
to make a copy of the original-- the LQ 'fake.' Preferably using vdub or vdubmod.
2.move the original source out of the directory it is in [just put it 'somewhere else']
3.name the fake copy with the same name as the original source
4.open the editing program, and [as long as the fake file is in the same spot that the original was in] it will be fooled into thinking that this is the original.

-since you now have a 'fast' codec within your program, everything will go really smooth
-The only drawback is the fake files can be on the chunky size, and could take a while to [re]encode... but that's okay... it's not like editing... you don't even have to be in the same room.

or there's a guide here:

Why not? The non-editors have always far outnumbered the editors on this site.

ahh... so true. Maybe I just assumed for that amount of time [...and many enjoyed amv's

] one would've tried earlier. But watching can be just as fun... I suppose that's the main purpose of amv's-- the viewer.

...although, if you develop a knack for editing, after going through some minor headaches... it's totally worth it... and I can see our friend Ki here sticking around much longer

Afaik the free (=demo) version of Magix doesn't allow you to export the finished video, so it isn't of any use for AMV making.
