Quick unrelated question -  What is the easiest/best video editing software that I can also add notations and such with? (or combo of programs)?
I really, really need to learn how to do it.. It's something I've never bothered to do, so I know nothhhhingggggg!

I use OpenShot, and make annotations and titles both solid background and transparent background, for it using mtPaint. OpenShot is very versatile and has lots of options and is pretty easy to use. It even does key-frame animations, and can make stop-motion videos from a directory full of numbered still images. The only drawback is that it sometimes crashes on my system, so I have developed the habit of clicking the "save" icon after every change I make in the video I'm editing. I use it to make all my videos. The output file size can be large, especially in HD formats (there are many output formats to choose from) so I generally do another stage of transcoding on the OpenShot output, with WinFF.

As long as you do it within the "edit time window" which is not that long. After the time has expired you can't edit your posts any more.

@TinselKoala,

Good point.

I downloaded Paint.Net on another computer I have that has been running slow lately - specially on Adobe Photoshop.
In Paint.Net you can add layers so you can edit parts of an image, also delete objects without affecting the content on the other layers.
It is for free, and I find it quite functional. Many other functions in it too.
You can save your multi layer image as a JPEG by "Flattening" the image first (Merging the layers into one background layer - which is not longer a layer...).
