    Hi all,

    I'm looking for piece of relatively inexpensive software that will allow me to add audio to videos (I have to record the audio seperatly, then I can just add it on over the top, in theory) and allow me to display images before and after the video, as well as perhaps as a watermark in the bottom corner. I'm basically looking for a relatively simple video editing suite. Any recomendations?

    Hmmm, in the past I've used sony vegas, but then thats not exactly cheap (although it'd do what you want). Can't media player just do that? Although I'm a little unsure about the watermark bit.

    VirtualDub.org.

    If you're using Windows, what about Windows Movie Maker? It's crap, but it's free and it does the job.

    I agree, windows movie maker, I have both Sony vegas and Adobe Premiere, they're quite good but also expensive.

    I would recommend Ulead VideoStudio It can do everything you mentioned. I think its a pretty intuitive program to use and its relatively inexpensive when compared to Adobe Premiere.. Obviously Premiere and no doubt Sony vegas are much better but you don't need a sledge hammer to crack a nut....
