Thanks for all of your suggestions about video editing software!  The good news: people who responded to my inquiry suggested a number of different kinds of video editing software which they like.  The bad news: there was no consensus about what kind of video editing software is best, so I need to check out a number of different kinds of  software.  I was hoping that two-thirds of the people who responded would say "Get XYZ software, it's terrific," which would have made my choice easy and obvious.

I hear you. But the lack of consensus is mostly because they mostly do all the same things, so it comes down to personal preference or that one must-have that's really important to you but not to everyone.

The good news: you'll probably be more or less happy with any of them to begin with! Let us know what you land on.

I looked.  They do not make video editing software unless you want to create animations. http://www.xyz-software.com/default.asp?PAG00_CODE=PRD001   

Hah!  I had no idea that there is a brand of software named XYZ Software.  I should have said "get _____ software, it's terrific."
