I'm trying to make a few impressive audio-visual thingies for my website. What's the best editing software for this type of junk? Open source would be ideal, but inexpensive is fine too. That said, I'll take any recommendations.

Snap to BPM? Does that exist? I've always had to chop up video to sync with songs.

EDIT: I like CyberLink's PowerDirector. Pretty solid software, easy to use and at $80 not too bad for video editing stuff.

I don't know, that may be wishful thinking. As long as there's some kind of BPM grid on the timeline or something.

I'm not an expert but I've tried different video editors and have never seen such a feature. If there is that would be amazing because slicing video to an exact beat gets a little frustrating.

ableton treats video clips the same way it treats audio clips. you'd need to do most of the video work in something else though.
