Video editing software

Which movie editing software is in your opinion best? I need: fades in audio and video, separate video and audio track and layers/overlays. :)

Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 9 Software is what I recommend, and that's what I use after I've used Windows Movie Maker. If you guys want to have something a little more "advance" try Sony Vegas Pro or Adobe Premiere.

I'd go for Premiere Pro. It's much more reliable than Vegas, it works faster, and although it's slightly more complicated, the skills you gain are much more transferable.

Thanks all!  I tried Blender because it's free, but couldn't get the audio and video tracks separated :( I'll try one of the others later.
