Pinnacle is the consumer video editing sotware line of Avid, which is the top-of-the-line in professional video editing software.  You can take Pinnacle for a spin, so to speak, by trying out the free version - Pinnacle Spin.  If you like the feel of that, consider upgrading to one of the Pinnacle Studio digital video programs.

Sony Vegas offers a line of digital video software, from the basic Vegas Movie Studio HD to the high-end Vegas Pro.  All of the programs offer editing, effects and exporting.  And, Sony Vegas is quite affordable - even Vegas Pro is less than many other professional grade editing programs.
