    This software is too simple for advanced use, it snaps video to the beginning of a track even if you are trying to not do that.

    There's tons of stuff in this program. Their latest release offers video masking and they have better keyframing control than any of the others listed that I've used. It's powerful and there are lots of learning materials developed while you're learning to use it.

    Way too basic. Way too many bugs. You need third-party programs for some features.
