Heather, Final cut express or iMovie (free) with apple's iLife will do the trick for you too. And I wouldnt be doing my duty as an independent video producer who went to school for this stuff and spent 20 years learning the ins and outs of the profession as well as the technology...if I didn't mention that it's not the tools that get the job done ... it's how you use them:) - a poorly produced video can do more harm than good for your business. ... The same reason you wouldn't want me to make you a french mocha double latte with whip cream topping and cinnamon... I'd love to help you down this new path, if you have more questions, please feel free to call or email off list. More times than most.... "simple video" can be an oxy-moran. My two cents.
