Software for video editing

[Peter Kesternich]

Hey everybody,
I am not quite sure I am posting this in the correct section here, but I'm trying my luck anyway. I have shot a couple of aviation videos over the past 12 months (.mov-format - that's what my Panasonic digital camera produces). Since I am still a beginner at doing this I was wondering whether anybody here could tell me where I could get freeware video editing software that can handle .mov-files. Windows Movie Maker understandably refuses to edit these. Thanks in advance for your help.

If you can't find something to edit directly, why not try download a convertor that will change .mov files to a format that windows movie maker will handle?

I've been using Adobe Premier Elements 7 as it needs to handle HD footage. Not free unfortunately.
