Any recommendations for free and easy to use video editing software?

Question

My daughter and some of her friends (9th graders) are planning to submit a video to the school system film festival.  The video is supposed to be 3-10 minutes long and can have some audio, just nothing copyrighted.  Since this is just a fun project for them, I'm looking for suggestions for free (or low cost) and easy to use video editing software.  Web based solutions would work, and if it has an option to collaborate between multiple user it might even be a better option.

Oh, not sure of the video capture source.  If none of the friends have a digital video camera, they'll probably end up using my digital SLR in record mode or (hopefully not) a cell phone.

Software platform: Microsoft Windows (could setup a Linux system if needed) or web based.

Thanks

Hey Jim,

I would recommend trakAxPC Pro. It's aimed at the novice user but has all the features of a professional software and works great with the Windows.

It's a really good and user-friendly video editing software which allows you to edit and mix any combination of audio, video and photos. It also has loads of features like effects, text, split screen, reverse, slow-motion etc, plus you can upload your video directly to YouTube through the application. 

There's a free lite version and a Pro (paid) version available

Hope this helps
