AMV Making Help?

[hanyoudetective]

I need a little help and I was hoping someone here might have some good advice on a program for me to use. See, I normally use Windows Movie Maker to make AMVs, but the version I have on my laptop keeps freezing whenever I'm in the middle of or almost finished making an AMV. The Windows Movie Maker on my PC, whenever I save an AMV, there's always a green bar at the bottom and the video at the top. I tried fixing that but it was a no go. -.-

I've also tried downloading Sony Vegas Studio with the Keygen thingy, but I can't seem to get that to work either, so I need something else if I want to make AMVs, and usually I don't make them that much, but now I wanna make a few and basically have no program to do it with. >_< Any ideas what I could use? I've tried AVS Video Editor, or something along those lines and didn't really like it, as well as Pinnacle Studio. I think I'm running outta options...xD

I just discovered CyberLink Power Director. I'm using it until I can actually afford Sony Vegas, haha.

I got my mom to buy Sony Vegas, and I use that now. When I was still using WMM, though, I got into the habit of saving roughly ever five minutes so that I don't lose too much during one of its hissy fits.

It's not actually a bad program, especially if you know how to donwload extra effects and transitions into it. It's just so damn temperamental that it's often not worth it.
