Video Editing software for music videos..., Please help! Options

[FireCrossedAngel]

Oh man, this really sux. It really, REALLY sux. Big time. You see, I love making music videos, AMV's, AVI's, whatever you want to call them, especially for Squaresoft's masterpiece, Final Fantasy VIII, but, the thing is...I can't get any video editing software to make them!! My computer is originally Windows XP, but now I have Windows 2000 Server for a bunch of effed up reasons And I tried downloading Adobe Priemere Pro Tryout (since I cant afford it or any other kind ) but the stupid a$$ son of a b!tch wont install in my PC anymore since it is made for Windows XP only. Blah. But, I didnt give up yet. I moved on. I tried Ulead Media Studio Pro Tryout (which sux in general but its a video editing thing and thats what I need, really need) but now it said that there was some kind of downloading problem from InstallShield or whatever it is called--the thing that is responsible for installing the software onto your PC. So then, I really didnt know wtf to try. But thats when Pinnacle Liquid Edition comes in...I really like the look of it, I mean it even seems better than Adobe Priemere Pro..but the goddamned issue with this is that the company itself didnt make a trial version for it *starts ripping hair off* and I'm not about to pay $750 for a program that I never even tested out. Yea I ordered the free Trial and Demo CD for it but it has the word DEMO in it so obviously that means that...well, you know, its not the full version or whatever. And plus it takes weeks to ship to your house. Ugh. (I didnt get it yet and i ordered it way in June )

So, to put it simply, does anyone here know what kind of video software I can use besides the ones I mentioned? Or where I should look for them? Or even what I should do? Making AMV's/AVI's/music videos are one of my fav things to do, especially for FFVIII, and it hurts hella lot when you cant do what you love for effed up, retarted reasons...

Seriously, ya see that Rinoa/Seifer and Adriana Lima mini movies *points down* I have as my signature? Those are the only things I could make now with...Jasc Animation Shop. *sighs* Isnt that just sad?

So, please, anybody, could you tell me? I'm so lost...
