How to make a video compilation out of clips.

Is Adobe Premiere really really complicated? Is it possible to just make a compile of clips and add background music without too much trouble on a new user?

@Gam3Guy, i think its because i installed Windows from a release that took out Windows Media Player. and i dont want that installed on my comp.

I'm sure Premiere isn't that complicated.

It uses the same time line paradigm Windows Movie Maker does anyway, and I'm sure there's plenty of help on the web and in the help files.

If it really scares you go for Premiere Elements instead.
