I used the non-pro version of Sony Vegas. Picked it up pretty cheap because it was bundled with Sound Forge which is a really good audio editor I wanted. Seems pretty powerful but I didn't use any of the special effects or color correction stuff. I don't think my computer can really handle it.
I jumped into minecraft at lunch time and Elrick showed me around a little. I didn't contribute much to the dig because I'd forgotten how to even make a pick, but I should be up to speed in a few days.
