Take comfort in the fact that every time someone types out the phrases "should of (sic) complied" or "play stupid games win stupid prizes" a spirit appears like in A Christmas Carol and shows them the future where they die alone without ever having known the love of another living being.
We hear you, we see you, and we know - as you do - that you're a miserable sorta-excuse for a human being who will never know a moment's happiness let alone be tolerable to any other person. Your existence is a cancer on the world and everyone forced to encounter you, even for a moment, is worse off for it. And unlike this woman shot down in cold blood, the moment you die will pass entirely unnoticed and unremaked upon. It will be like you never existed, and you know every word I said here is true. That's why you act the way you do and talk the way you do - because at night, when you're alone, you know all of this. The only thing that never occurs to you is that everyone around you knows it about you, too. You think your act fools anyone, and that's the scariest thing to you: the possibility that people see you for the coward you are.
They do. We do. Sleep tight. ...
It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
If you're grasping for anything to feel good about right now - and that's a very difficult thing to find - feel good about the fact that not everyone is as much of a spineless, collaborating coward as our elites. Total strangers will risk their lives to stand next to you. ...

YouTube actually has very simple editing functionality. If you were going to post there anyway, it's pretty convenient.
jaktheyak says:
If you have access to a mac, iMovie is pretty straightforward (assuming you know how to use macs, which are not as blindingly simple and intuitive as their proponents claim). Otherwise I'm with Jex: if you want to post it to YouTube anyway, you might as well use their built in deal.
Also Microsoft has options which are expensive, bad, or both, so that's an option if you truly hate yourself and everyone involved in the process.
Steve says:
I believe Microsoft Movie Maker is free. I used it a couple months ago to rotate a video someone made while hosting the camera sideways.
SeaTea says:
iMovie. Totally.
Deborah says:
This post was parody, right?
JustRuss says:
Microsoft Movie Maker is pretty limited but not terrible. It's free and pretty easy to use, might be worth a shot.
mothra says:
I love it when Ed trolls.
sinned34 says:
I've used both iMovie and Movie Maker, and I can attest that they're equally terrible. But you should be able to figure either of them out.
Vinny says:
Try Blender…………bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahaha
RosiesDad says:
iMovie is definitely the ticket. In fact, if you have an iPhone, the iMovie trailer tool may be all you need.
Leo T. says:
Ironically, yeah, Microsoft Movie Maker is probably the best choice if you don't have any Apple devices handy. Free, not hard to figure out, meets your requirements.
quixote says:
Blender: free, capable of making production quality videos. *Serious* learning curve. Non-geeks are not going to learn how to use it. But it really does work and can do anything.
If you knew how to use it — if — IF — it would probably be the easiest way to put together a few clips and add text.
Heidi B. says:
C'mon, use your resources; there has got to be a Film Studies student somewhere in Peoria! This has the makings of a great Independent Project, which could cost you close to zero. It would look shiny on someone's resume….

If you can afford to spend a little, CyberLink power director has gotten very good reviews- lots of tools, fast and relatively easy to use for beginners. You can get the lowest level of the program for about $70.00.
