Upgrade to version 2.0 and you can do the speed adjustments and slight zooms. For color changes and other effects, I prefer to use VirtualDub or a paing program. Most people will tell you to get Premiere and After Effects if you want to make 'good' videos.

To edit I use:
Premiere 6 (tried Premiere Pro, didn't like it)
Photoshop 6
Just started learning After Effects so my first try at AE will be my DDR track this year.

Premiere pro for sure. I've gotten way too used to it that I had to keep using it. I tried 6.0 and felt like it was completely different. Basics were the same, but windows in different boxes and such...it slowed down my editing process.

Right click the video clip in the timeline to which you want to add the effect, and click Video Effects...
Click "Ease In" for a slow Zoom in, "Ease Out" for a slow Zoom out, "Slow Down, Half" to slow the speed down, or "Speed Up" to quicken the speed. Then click add>> and click OK.

?_?

Wait, I know...

High quality audio encoding method:

Step one - Turn up yopur speakers all the way.

Step two - Call a freind and put the cellphone next to the speakers.

Step three - Hit "play" and run.

Step four - have friend record the song from his phone.

Result:
Extremely high quality audio, ready for editing.

(NOTE: kids, don't try this at home. For best results use speakers that fall into the category of "not yours" such as the ones at Best Buy.
