Here is some software that I thought was very good, I have used them all before and I use most of them on a regular basis (I don’t use   Windows Live Movie Maker very much because we have a better (and more expensive) video editing program at home). I hope you’ll be able to use at least one of these programs and all of them but Blender are pretty intuitive (there are lots of online Blender tutorials- for some good ones click here ).

Here they are:

Recording and editing sound and sound effects

Audacity

Visual effects, logos, and computer animation.

Blender

Picture editing, and image creation.

Paint.net

Video editing and some visual effects.

Windows Live Movie Maker
