I need a simple to use, free or cheap (around $15-$20) basic video editor for my macbook. All I want or need to do is link video clips and add some tittle pages. I was going to get iMovie but then I read all these complaints about problems. Is there a simple to use basic editor out there better than iMovie, or is imovie it? thanks.

The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Most of the complaints about imovie are from users who dont like the new version
If you are new to the program you are unlikely to have any problems

iMovie is about as simple and full featured you will get for free. I mean, its great program and easy to use. I just recently upgraded to Final Cut Pro X, but that was for some of the more professional tools I needed.
