I want to make a movie for a contest.

Problem is, I have no experience with video editing and the like.

Does anyone know a decent free video maker/editor?

Or, failing that, how to video capture a computer screen?

Cam Studio for screen capturing.

For video editing.....

You can find Bit Torrents of Adobe Creative Suite Premium 3; the specific app you're looking for is After Effects, it's video editing arm. Installing Illustrator in order to instert clean vector images into After Effects also helps.

Tutorials will fill in a lot of the gaps, and trust me, there's a lot of stuff that AE can do.

avidemux is a great software on linux and there's a win32 and a mac osX version if I'm right. It's open source and free.

There's one of hte mirror links. If that doesn't work. wiki it.
