Well, when I was taken aback by not being able to quickly figure out how to work Adobe Premiere, I went looking for a simple but good video editor.

Eventually, I came across what I use now - Power Director.
I found it on a gift disk I got when I bought my GeForce FX 6600 GT video card so at lack of a better solution I decided to check it out. Now, I'm not using the latest version at all apparently but I imagine they wouldn't go too far from the simplicity of what it's like in this version when upgrading so you might want to take a look at it.

Cyberlink seems to be the developer, hence it's "Cyberlink Power Director".
