Let me get the business part of this e-mail down first. I don’t know MizArchivist but am happy to put my 2 cents in: it was a bit confusing her asking for video software but wanting to “clean up” film strips. I guess she wants to animate them. The clean up part should be done with photoshop (or powerpoint, if she is more confident with that).
The easiest and cheapest video editing software is Final Cut Pro but it is only for Macs so that is a pretty hefty investment right there, although 24 inch iMacs can be had for not much more than $1000. If anybody has a school id, the price for Final Cut goes to less $500 so that gives you an idea of what can be done.
That being said, I found a free trial for Adobe Premier on line which may be a good thing to try first. The original Pro versions of Premier were incredible expensive and difficult but they have made what they consider a consumer version. It’s free for 30 days so it’s worth a try.
