I had a good experience creating my proof-of-concept video brochure using Windows Movie Maker.

While creating version two, Windows Movie Maker choked on some files. Other users report that the "server error" was not easy to fix.

I found an awesome online video editor called www.JayCut.com

Good news: I used their new beta version two editor and created my version two video brochure in minutes!

Bad news: The v2 editor does not let you save your work!

So, I used a CamStudio.org to do a lame screen recording. My PC choked trying to play and record so the video quality is poor.

I just purchased Cyberlink PowerDirector 8 ($70) and will rebuild version 2 in that app while I wait for JayCut.com to make their version 2 editor live.

I am sure PowerDirector will blow JayCut away, but sometimes having hundreds of options can slow you down. Plus, I don't like installed software since I do marketing night and had to install PowerDirector at home. With JayCut.com I can login from anywhere anytime!

Here's my "version 2 video brochure"...
