Its interface is plenty simple but there's almost no functionality if you want to make anything other than some ass-quality slideshow. Nowadays it's so buggy and crash-prone you probably couldn't even do a slideshow if you tried.

I've tried looking for other free video editors but they're either equally garbage or so complicated it would take months to learn a program I'd only use for simple videos with relatively simple effects.

Is there a decent alternative someone knows of?
First person to say "pirate Vegas" loses.

Download the older version of WMM.
If you're looking to swap to something else, I don't really know since I've been looking at paid ones. :<

Lol, free movie editors.
I can't speak for any of them since I am so used to Final Cut, Adobe Premiere, and Adobe After Effects.
You should acquire one of those. However, I have heard Avidemux & Lightworks were decent.

It's definitely still possible.
But, if you're going to torrent, why not get something actually good? *Bias here, I have never liked Sony Vegas.

as it's been said above, pirating might be your best option.

Vegas just has so many pluses that you can use towards video editing, and it doesn't take that much to get used to it. I personally love the newer versions, as the older ones lack some features and burn my eyes with the full bright white theme it had.

I'm trying to avoid torrenting at the moment. My ISP throttles me regardless of what the traffic actually is, and even though there's apparently a method around that it's entirely alien to me.

So much this. The older version has a lot more functionality than the shitty W7 one that is perhaps a little too accessible,

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 is what I used on my Mac (pirated). That, Photoshop and After Effects are by far the best products Adobe's ever come out with (as far as I used).

Also, Adobe's switching to entirely cloud-based software. Which is why it's 20$/month.

You could pound your head into a brick wall, and still get the same effects you get from Movie Maker.
