Isn't Windows Live Movie Maker cheap enough for you?

What issues are you finding with WMM... not got any problem with it for us and we have it on Win 7 with mapped home and shared drives; and redirected app data.

On a slight side note, has all the Serif software moved to using XML?

have you tried Avid FreeDV

Avid FreeDV is available for both Windows and MAC operating systems, and includes basic video and audio editing capabilities, as well as up to two streams of real-time effects. On the whole, a solid video editing program that is slightly hard to use, but very powerful once you learn its ins and outs.

From Avid's website:

Ever thought about using a cloud based software that you can add your videos to and then display them on the school screens?

Ever thought about using a cloud based software that you can add your videos to and then display them on the school screens?

"Cloud" based as in a remote cloud? I don't think it would be practical in most schools to upload raw footage to a remote server for editing, not if you have a class worth of children all editing different bits of footage. I think it'd be practical locally, though, using something like MovieMasher as I pointed out in my post above - do you know of anything else similar?
