I have windows 8 and i a couple of months ago have started editing videos for magic/ cardistry videos. The problem is, that I have been using windows movie maker, because it is simple. I want something free, but a little more difficult to get used to because of the special effects (which obviously I want to learn to use). I cant find anything good right now, but maybe you guys know of some good ones. And by free i don't mean free trail.

Video Editing:
Lightworks; free alternative to Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas.

Lightworks has been used in the movie industry for more than 20 years. Lightworks also has the fastest workflow in the industry.
Lightworks used to cost more than $1,000, but now Lightworks Pro costs $60/year and you can download a free version from their website.
Sony Vegas costs $600 and that's the same price as using Lightworks Pro for 10 years.
Editors using Lightworks have produced numerous internationally renowned and Oscar and Emmy award-winning feature films and television programs, including The King's Speech, The Departed, Mission Impossible, Braveheart, and Pulp Fiction.
And yes! Lightworks is FREE if you don't need pro video codecs and you can use the free version as long as you want.

Color Grading:
Use color grading to make the video "pop to life", to change the mood, or to make it look more like a movie or TV show.
DaVinci Resolve is the best color grading software in the industry.

3D Animation and Visual Effects:
Blender; free alternative to Maya and After Effects.
http://blender.org
Blender has a complete VFX pipeline in one single software package. Blender has tools for modeling, sculpting, rigging, animation, rotoscoping, chroma keying (green screen), motion tracking, smoke, fire, and fluid simulation, particles, destruction, physics, color grading, node compositing, and video editing.
After Effects uses "layer-based" compositing. Blender uses "node-based" compositing similar to Nuke; used in the movie industry http://thefoundry.co.uk/products/nuke
Blender has more advanced features but After Effects is easier to use.
The easiest and most detailed tutorial on how to use Blender is Neal Hirsig's tutorial at http://gryllus.net/Blender/3D.html
Blender is 100% free with full functionality, no adware, no spyware, and no viruses, and you're allowed to use Blender in any production without having to pay for anything.

Video editing software?

I need to be able to add images over a video. I'm making a mock up of a gps application for my internship this summer and I need to be able to add arrows, pop up bubbles, etc to the video. Pretty much I should be able to add any image on top of the video. What software (free or payed) can I use that does this?
