VideoStudio isn't bad... ULead has "higher end" video apps, also that might
be better... Pinnacle, the people who make PowerDVD have PowerDirector...


Do they have to be MOV or MPG? You might also get good compression with
WMV/ASF

But as mentioned in another post, if you've not done this before you're in
for a real eye-opener. This will not be quick. Many of these apps have to
re-render the video after every effect is put in during edit mode. That
takes time Also, don't plan on doing anything else on this computer while
the video is rendering -- it will take 100% of your CPU cycles. You're gonna
need a helluva lot of free hard drive space, too. The slower your CPU, the
longer the rendering is gonna take. Depending upon your timeline to delivery
of the product and how fast you can learn the apps and process the video, it
may be best to farm this portion out.
