what simple app to edit HD videos?

[unknown00]

i just got a HD video camera and want a very very simple app (like windows movie maker) to be able to edit videos and still save in HD. any ideas? i know apps like Adobe Premiere \ are awesome but i know the learning curve is steep. also, camera does not come with any hardware

In which way do you wish to "edit" them? Sony Vegas and Adobe After Effects should do well.

What is the camera and which format and bit rate are you recording?

Describe your edit goals.

What HD output format do you want? What will it play on?

What is your software budget?

no software budget

sanyo CG10

edit is able to add music, titles, and cut scenes. very simple stuff

just want it to play well on PC, DVD, facebook, youtube

there are no free simple avchd editors that i know of. you might try sony vegas studio platinum, it has avchd support, but i'd be sure to get the demo first as they only advertise "sony avchd" hd files work. so it will probably depend on how close to spec the sanyo avchd is.
