I use Ulead Video Studio 9, it's decent, but I haven't tried much video editing software. I hope to get a good VHS editing set up some day though!

I would be really interested to know what you use instead :) .

Professional studios used AVID, but I don't know if they're around anymore...

Final Cut Pro kicks ass.  It's what I use professionally and personally.  Just finished up an Xtreme Unicycle video, in fact!  Final Cut Pro isn't something you can just step into and figure everything out, though.  I don't know what to recommend to beginners,.

You spoiled bitches!!

I still use master tapes and Jog/Shuttle wheels!!!  I have to plug the titler in between my decks but BEFORE the mixer.  I'm old school.

Then you must have top-loading VCRs, too.

 If you want to get into video editing, then get a mac+Final Cut Pro (if you're serious about this). Final Cut Pro is great, but more advance projects will require additional apps. Adobe After Effects(pro version) is a great companion to FCP. FCP will run you about $1000, AE pro about $900, and a new Mac $2000-$3000?

Oh and if you pickup some porn editing jobs... just make up a name for the credits ;)
