Question
please tell me a software for video editing/composition which is easier to use.

Answer
Hey Salman,

It really all depends on what you are trying to do, and what level the editing is for.

In the Adobe CS3/4 Suite I would recommend Adobe Premiere.  For Macs, Final Cut Pro.  If you are doing a lot of special fx compositing, you are going to want to use something like Adobe After Effects.

I really don't keep up with consumer software, but I know that there are a few good ones out there.  I work with professional software and hardware, so that is all that I can recommend at the moment.

Cheers,
Andre
