Buyer beware, software is great but make sure you have hardware that can support it.

I second this remark. For standard def i would recommend at least a 4 GHz Pentium 4 processor with 1 gig of ram. For HD make sure you have more than two processing cores running at at least 2.5 GHz each and at least 4 gigs of ram.

Also as a word of caution I wouldn't even attempt to do HD visual effects on a machine with at least 6 gigs of ram and a quad core processor. Just a word to the wise.

This is what i do for a living and go to school for.

MacBooK Pro and iMovie. It does pretty much anything I have tried to do and all in HD too. No freezes, crashes or other misbehaving either.

I've tried PC movie software and I thought Vegas studio worked fairly well, but everything on the Mac, especially the creative stuff is just so much easier for me.
