*blushes* Thanks. I needed that. This isn't an excuse, but my dad writes software for a living, so perhaps that's where my oversensitivity about piracy comes from. I see "Hey i want good software but i dont want to pay" and instantly assume the worst. My apologies for directing this thread somewhere it never should have gone.
Back on topic, WMM works fine (well... sort of) for the purpose it's designed for: cutting together home movies into appealing-looking presentations without a whole lot of work. For people who just want to take existing footage, maybe drop some music in the background, add some transitions and titles, and be done with it, it's perfect. But for filmmakers... especially brickfilmers, whose raw video doesn't have sound... its limited options leave it all but useless.
I haven't used it, so I have no idea if it's any good, but the screenshots for ZS4, linked to in the Free Software List, seem to indicate a competent editor whose GUI closely resembles that of higher-end editors like Final Cut and Premiere. It might be worth looking into, at the very least.
