Need a video editing program
0
Okay I need a simple video editor... so simple I'm baffled that I can't find something small that will do what I want without any kind of obscure fiddling.
It must be able to:
1) Read multiple videos as a source
2) Read multiple audio tracks as sources
3) Be able to crop and arrange said sources
4) Be able to actually save / encode
I don't need any special effects or transistions. Windows movie maker claims to do what I need, but it won't export and it won't tell me why, it only gives a generic error saying to verify the existance of sources and export location (they do exist!). Avidemux and Virtualdub don't seem to have sophisticated enough audio manipulation tools, and if they exist it's not user intuitive.
More specific on what I'm going to do. I want to join two FRAPS output files, crop them slightly, and play two different songs, which will be cropped and spliced in at different times than the video cues (one song for the stage music and one for the boss music).

Nah,
VirtualDub or VirtualDub Mod should suffice. It's a FREE muxing/encoding program that can use a million+1 filters but not a proper video editor.
EDIT: It lives! The Virtual Dub project was recently restarted, we had a recent release! I've always used this program since forever as it's really robust. Looks like it will finally be modernized and features like mkv/h264 support added by the original creator instead the now defunct team that made VirtualDub Mod.
One more reason why VRDub is great is that it's compatible with AviSynth the de' facto video manipulation tool used by each and every group out there that counts.

You might also want to check out Avidemux. It supports more formats than VRDub.

Both Adobe Premiere and Vegas are great programs; however, they are a bit pricey if you are looking for some light editing. If you have access to a Mac, iMovie does work really well for what you are looking for. Otherwise, VirtualDub/Mod works well enough, though the user interface could be a lot better for the average Joe.

You may should try Kdenlive. It's not avaible on windows but it's far the best free video-editor I've seen yet. There is a LiveDVD which you can burn and then boot it, so you don't have to install anything for it. (You can directly access to your windows-drive, just to mention it.)
