Decent video editing software ?

Looking for some decent video editing software.

I would like it to be fairly easy to use, but have some advanced features I could learn on youtube / eventually.

don't mind splashing the cash on this one, so whatever you recommend really. Need to be compatible with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

I've heard Final Cut Pro is good, but can I run that on my Windows system ?

anyone?

I've heard Vegas Video is good.

Final Cut Pro only on Mac.

Vegas is really easy to use.

When I started video editing I too splashed out on a £600+ package

He did say "don't mind splashing the cash on this one".

That is true, I thought maybe he'd want to start off on a beginner one.

Sony Vegas Pro is really nice to use. Much more user friendly than Premiere Pro.

However v11 has changed (exporting videos) compared to v10, but if you're a new user you probably won't care as you haven't had time for it to become a preference for you.

Pinnacle Studio is easy to pick up, has a rep for being crashtastic but latest version seems ok.

Thanks for your replies everyone

I've decided to try Vegas on your recommendations. Looking forward to editing some underwater footage I have

If you need any help on it ask here, Vegas Pro or the other versions of Vegas are the same in terms of the user interface and some settings.

I use Pinnacle and it's been great, though I am probably on scratching the surface. It's cheap too
