Resources for Video/Image Editing
VirtualDub
VirtualDub is a basic video encoding tool - it will let you trim off some of the fat videos get, and get rid of some of those little mistakes that happen. You can save out to various file formats, and it's great for lowering the memory size of your Muvizu videos! It's not a video editor per say, but it's definitely something you'll find useful to have.

Windows (Live) Movie Maker
This is a handy tool for trimming the fat from as well as adding effects and transitions to you videos post-Muvizu. It's easy to use, even for beginners. Effects include: Rippling, colour changing, fading in from black/white and other similar effects. Unfortunately, you can only save out in .WMV format, but that doesn't stop your video from being HD.
