    Free Video Editing Software?

    Sup folks, now that I have a camera that shoots HD videos, I need some software to edit it.

    I've used windows movie maker before and it's more than adequate for my meager needs as far as editing go, unfortunately my cameras both record in .MOV format and ofcourse, Windows Movie Maker doesn't support .MOV.

    So I've searched google and there are a bunch of editing programs that say they are free but once you download them, you have to purchase the full version or there is a huge watermark in the middle of your video.

    This is the first time I have been frustrated with Canon. .MOV is by far the least compatible video format and I dont like being pressured into purchasing software to support it when I should either get it free with the camera or it should be windows compatible.

    Now I have all this footage I was planning on turning into a movie for my daughters that I cant do anything with unless (from what I have seen) I pay a minimum of $80 for more software.

    Are there any video editing programs out there that support .MOV and are TRULY free?

    Thanks in advance for any replies.
