There's a cheap version, Vegas Movie Studio. Mayhap not as powerful as the full version, but a lot cheaper (I paid just over $100CND total on Amazon for it) and with more capabilities than WMM. It won't make clips the way WMM does, though it's somewhat easy to pick out clips from your imported media and drop it onto the timeline (somewhat--I keep managing to select the entire file when I try. I suppose there's a keyboard shortcut I should learn). I do find it easier to work with than WMM though. And the VSM has an interactive tutorial that I find invaluable for learning different tasks.

Final Cut Pro is your God... if you own a mac.

If not, Premiere has always been good for me.

Oh, I forgot I bought the Vegas 6.0 + Vegas DVD Architecht. Yeah. Regular Vegas is only 450, or like Jayn_Newell said, always Vegas Movie Sudio.

I've seen Vegas 6 on Newegg.com for as cheap as $250.00 with no s/h.

As for the clip maker, that is what the trimmer is for. You get to make your own clips xD
I find the trimmer to be a lot easier to use than the regular clip maker the WMM provided. It's much more presice.

Also, with Vegas, you can download a 30 days trial

There are aren't that many restrictions really. No Mpeg renders, only 30 MP3 renders, etc...

Nothing to really slow you down.

I seriously sugest giving it a go.
'Tis fun.

I aggre with both things that you said. I make my own clips in VDubMod. And just import them. The only reason I said that, was cuz the OP asked for a Editor with a auto clip maker.

I use the same technique with vdub x3

Well, if you wanna trade up to bigger better things, it doesn't hurt to readjust to something a little more difficult. No one ever said growing and excelling was a simple thing to do.
