Good program for video editing?

[Energize]

So far I've been using avidemux to do basic stuff, like filtering, resizing, transcoding etc. But it's not the most convienient program to use, it doesn't support any kind of effects and often it's preview output doesn't represent what it looks like when played back.

Can anyone recommend a good program for video editing, one that doesn't cost £1k would be preferable.

I've checked Vegas Movie Studio HD 11 on the sony website, but it says it doesn't support primary and secondary colour correction, what does this mean? No colour curves?

Nevermind I can see in the trials it does support basic features like colour curve editing.

Thanks for the recommendation, it's certainly a great step up from the program I'm using now.
