i am trying to transition from doing blog tutorials to doing video tutorials to put on youtube .
i need a good , cheap , video editing program . i would prefer that it be something i can just buy as opposed to having to subscribe to .
anyone got a suggestion ?

Good video editing software isn't cheap, cheap video editing software isn't good. I use adobe premiere.

What operating system do you use, the available software may well change depending on that. OS X has iMovie which i think would meet your demands. Blender (blender.org) is available for all platforms (Linux/OS X/windows/...)but has a very steep learning curve Open Movie Editor (http://www.openmovieeditor.org/) is also available for all platforms - I've never used it tho Windows used to have a "windows movie maker" - but all urls that points to it now redirects to the windows 10 FAQ.

Yeah i thoguht the same when i first wanted to answer this...
i'm moving thru Premiere, Vegas and Afetr Effect which can also serve as a Composer. Mostly using Vegas because its easy to do things in it. and less complicated then the others.
but they are all above the 500$ mark.

Blender is good and not that steep of a learning curve for basic editing. Now, for VFX, then the curve is a sheer cliff face. There's a number of good tutorials on Youtube on using blender for video editing. The issue is that it doesn't support certain formats, as far as the video itself is concerned, depending on what brand of camera you use (I have a JVC). It will handle the sound with out a problem, though. My work around for that is to use a video to image converter.

when you convert videos be sure to convert them to a lossless format. much much bigger file size but a much much better representation when it comes to creating a quality video.
this is why i love adobe... it supports pretty much all video in existence. JVC camera here too. Vegas dont support the mod format. but adobe does right from the get go.

I shoot on a Sony Alpha SLTA77II and use Premiere Pro CS4 (previous versions can't handle HD formats). Video is originated in 27Mbps 1080i 25FPS and rendered in Flash Video format (.f4v) files which allows for small file size for upload and near instant processing on YouTube without any further loss in quality (it isn't recompressed by the YouTube ingestion server). For microphones I use an older Sony UHP system and a new Rhøde wireless lapel. Currently for lighting I use IKEA swing arm LED lamps (x3) I also use a single 600w Red Head tungsten in earlier videos or when not in a confined space due to the amount of heat generated.
