Download trail versions from their respective websites and try them out for yourself. I went from WMM to Vegas no problem, with a little help from LadyMercury's guide to Vegas, stickied at the top of this forum. Although to be fair, I'm still learning new things about the program all the time, but the transition wasn't very difficult for me.

Start with windows movie maker. Thats what I did and I got a good feel of how to frame by frame it and it forced me to storyboard before I worked on a project. The fading effect I got from Movie maker and transparencies took FOREVER to duplicate with Adobe premier.

The major downside to WMM is footage quality, and that takes a lot of effort before input, and some tweaking on the output to get clear images and motion to come through on the end result.

The greatest part about WMM is that in many cases you have your hands tied, which forces you to get creative to get the effects you want. Your hands tied also means you start to get a feel for what you really want to do... After you get a handle on WMM, move up and shop around. It's a good starting point to figure out what YOU want do do with edditing software.

if you have the option not to, do not start with WMM.

i'd recommend premiere or vegas (premiere, for myself).

if you must use something WMM-like, though, use pinnacle.

there are a few other editing programs that you can probably download for free but the top of the line ones like adobe primiere pro, after effects and vegas will cost you a sizable amount of money (unless you can *cough* acquire them online for free at sites with questionable reputations).

personally i use adobe primiere pro, it takes a bit of time to get used to but it has pretty much everything i want in an editing program and a whole lot more. I'm still learning the ins and outs of it, i suggest you take a look at the software reviews link on the main page as that can give you an idea of what other people think of each program

There are custom mods? o.O could you elaborate on this subject, it sounds interesting o.O
