I don't know anything about PC software for video editing. I know there 
are several programs available.

Is there a PC version of Premiere? Years ago that was the standard 
among Mac users before Apple hired the guys that wrote it and had them 
do Final Cut which is now the standard of professional video editing 
software.

Not wishing to get into a Mac vs PC discussion, I will simply wish you 
luck.
