We use Windows Live Moviemaker as our video editing software at school.

There are many other video editing software packages. You are to choose two different programs and compare them with MovieMaker. Post your comparison on your blog.
Where possible show screen shots of the programs and include links to the sites reviewing them. Any prices should be in Australian dollars and look for the licence conditions.
