Yeah. I mean that I'll get Action Essentials 2 soon, and I want to know what is good software of it and free. I know that Wax 2.0 can do that. But do you know any other? Please.
Thank you.
Lightworks, I think. I have never gotten it to work (I will try to import something and it says it can't). 
If you want something other then wax, your going to have to fess up some cash. Sony Vegas Platinum 11 is good, and you can get it cheap (about $65) on Amazon. 
I use it and it works real well. 
I find Lightworks a good software to use. I've had minimal problems:
1. Frustrating Layout. It's an entire new experience.
2. Memory Hog. If you don't have a lot of ram (I say a minimum of 2 GB, they say 8 GB is recommended)
Other than those problems, it is quite nice. It has an assortment of effects, and has multiple video/sound layers. But if you do not want it, or tried it and didn't like it, I recommend buying Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11.

Have you installed the Matrox VFW codecs?
Can Virtual Dub do that what I want to?
EDIT: I tested VLMC video editor and I'm almost sure that it can do that. It has many video layers, but I'm not sure yet. But Action Essentials 2's effects are already keyed, I guess. Am I right, and I think it can do it. You can try too, guys:

Are you trying to import compressed files? Lightworks can't handle compressed files.

Nope, completely uncompressed.

Then it's probably the lack of codecs, like Mason said.
Okay, I'll buy Sony Vegas Platinum 11. But Sonjira, can it move Action Essentials 2 effects in postions Y and X and...
Because it is very important, I don't want to take some explosion to the sky! 
Just want it, 'cause VLMC can't do that...
Yes it can. It can move it all around the screen
Ohh yes! I'll get it... Shouuuut!
But remember, up to 10 video tracks in Sony Vegas (But you'll probably never need that many.)
