Check out trakAxPC Pro. It's a new editing suite that allows you to edit and mix any combination of audio, video and photos. You can do effects, text, split screen, reverse, slow-motion etc, plus upload your video directly to YouTube through the application. There's a free (forever after the trial) and Pro (paid) version available.
