Earlier this year I purchased Pinnacle Studio 11, which actually runs pretty well on my ol' WinXp machine. Well, at least it does since I upgraded the RAM to 2GB, switched out the 2.6Ghz Celeron for a 3.06Ghz P4, and added a 512MB video card.

I've found I really enjoy video editing, although it's hard to find free time for it! You can see some samples of what I've done so far here:

I'm hoping to put together a "MN Forhan" DVD from all our 2008 home movies. I probably won't do a lot of the fancy cuts and music, but it's still fun to learn the ropes.

P.S. - I tried to embed a YouTube video directly using the "html" button in the blog tool, but it didn't work. Is that something that can be enabled? Also, I don't seem to have a way to upload Gallery pics (again). Either I forgot how, or the link disappeared for me.
