Sony Vegas!

I use Sony Vegas because I "acquired" it.

But Adobe Premier is apparently the best.
(I know a lot of YouTubers that use it as well as my sister who's an animator! Hahah!)

It's also super easy to use

Sony Vegas looks intimidating, but it's easy to get the hang of

I use Premiere Pro, much more advanced so it's the best in my opinion

Yeah, it's the industry standard really

Man...I need to get it!

The best one I have used so far is Sony Vegas 9.0 Its been great so far!

vegas takes some time to get used to but when you do its really good

Definitely go for Sony Vegas. It's relatively simple to use and gives you a lot of options for video FX, transitions and rendering options.

I use Sony Vegas 12 which in my opinion is an amazing software and worth the money if you're serious about video editing.

Like you said it can be hard to understand and be a bit daunting when you first open it up but just look at some tutorials on youtube to learn the basics and then just have a play with vegas to get the feel of it. Trust me it's SO worth it!

I'm a fan of Sony Vegas (paid) myself. It's simple to use to edit, yet has the capabilities to take on complicated projects! As a side note, for graphics editing on thumbnails or channel art, I'm a fan of GIMP (This ones free!)

As long as money/piracy isn't a problem for you, I strongly suggest Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. I use it for all my videos. After Effects is good for post-processing too. Plus, if you get Adobe Creative Cloud for something like £50 you get access to pretty much all of Adobe's products plus cloud storage. I really do recommend it =3

I actually started with windows movie maker for my PC and now use Sony Vegas(it can be intimidating if you've never edited before, but eventually it's easy). But for Mac I would say iMovie.

While I generally went through University using Adobe After Effects I have found that Adobe Premier Pro can take care of most of my needs and is easy to use.. though its dear and you need a recent version CS5/6 if you wan't a decent amount of music codec support

I think all of the popular youtubers out there use either Sony Vegas Pro or Premier.

To get the hang of editing video in general I'd go for the starter version of Serif Movieplus cause it has most of the functionality of the pro editors but is free and very well laid out and easy to use. And then, definitely go for Sony Vegas. I've got SV 12 and I'm already noticing a definite change in the quality of my videos, though they can take a long time to render.
