    So my current go-to video editing software (Lightworks) has an annoying bug that screws up the sound.
    Thus I'm looking for a decent alternative and since a lot of people in here post videos, I figured someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

    Couple of demands though.
    I won't spend huge amounts of money on it (so no Sony Vegas pls.)
    A free option is obviously preferable, but a decently priced indie/shareware version will do as well.
    It has to be able to do:
    Multi-source & multi-channel editing. If all it can do is edit a single file, I'm not interested.
    Video-merging and picture-in-picture.
    Indexable image-keying. That one's a biggie.
    A decent library of cuts, fades and dissolves.
    Capable of importing all recent file-types and containers, i.e. mpeg4, .h264, Xvid etc. .flv would be nice but I can live without it.
    Capable of exporting in decent resolution. 1080p if possible, but 720p minimum.
    Capable of decent compression.
    An export time that isn't measured in days. :D
    No water-marking or other ads

    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance. :)

    If you can find out how to change the original account info, you can have my license. I haven't used it in several years.

    Silly me, I bought a license and never use it. I think it cost just abit more than my iRacing Audi R8.

    Well, I tend to spend most of my time at RD. :D
    Appreciate the offer, but I've tried other AVS products before, and.......no.
    Thanks, but no thanks. :)

    Cheers mate, I'll have a look at the trial thingy. :)

    I use Lightworks too, but, also, Hitfilm express and/or Blender.
