I found mine version of Adobe Premiere in PC World! Most big computer stores should have either one.

Download demos, or get them off discs that come with magazines. Seriously. I had the cash to buy Adobe Premier or Avid, but they performed POORLY on my PC, horribly, even though they are very costly. So I tried Sony Vegas ($99 US) and it worked so smoothly on my PC, incredible, and easy to learn. My PC is no wimp either-- dual core 3 GHz, 4MB RAM, four x 400GB SATA drives (4GB/s transfer), nVidia Geforce 7900 256MB x 2 (SLI setup). For *my* PC, the more expensive video editing software was the worst, the cheapest video editing software was the best; it might be different for other computers, maybe yours--so download and try out the demos for 30 days. Perhaps SONY, being a huge mega corporation that also owns Sony Pictures, has access to megabuck sophisticated editing software for their hollywood studios, so they wisely put some of that code into their consumer software and priced it for mass consumption by chumps like me--just speculation.

That said- Adobe Premier and Avid worked GREAT for small size, small resolution videos. I was about ready to order Premier, really. But then I tried a a high definition 4 minute video clip, and also a full length DVD movie, and both Premier and Avid could not handle that--choppy playback in editing/preview mode, horrible choppy audio; contrasted with Sony Vegas that worked so smooth it was a no brainer decision.
What's Avid? Ive honestly never heard of it. Wheres the best place to find a free 30 day trial? thank you, Cleary.

Go to the Avid website and click on "downloads".

Is there a limit to how many times I can download the trila version of Avid? Cleary

The free version of Avid isn't time-limited, it's just feature-limited; it's fine for basic DV editing but can't do much more than that. You have to get a license key from them to activate it, but then it's usable forever.
I don't think they have a time-limited demo of the full version of the software.
