How to do a 4 min video edit without FCP or Vegas

This is for rookies new to video so guys like Twizzle,A-Swift and Phat-Al need not waste their time....This is not for production but for quick mixes for you to have without editing in FCP or Vegas. It took the length of the song to create this,,, which I think was less than 3 min.... DONE sorry about the acapella of choice it's a little too hood for me but I didn't want to do another Usher one...

Tools SLV, a logo if you if you want,video with acapella,some instrumental and some type of recording device. For this example I used the pinnacle video transfer on medium settings which records as an mp4. For web converted it to an FLV to make it smaller so I lost quality.

If you can mix it should be really easy if you keep bpm's in close range on instrumentals and you have set cue points and able to adjust acapella as needed.

If using a logo then you want to start out latch 50 so your logo will look clean at the start,also you will want to drop your first instrumental on to you logo. Then hit play and start your mix. I suggest that you change the latch 50 after the first song to center of default if you want to scratch as you would have a black screen any other way unless you add video to your instrumentals... not recommened....If you want to bring your logo back in clean at the end do a latch 50 if you want it to overlay the use default. I did both so you can see... yet there are still many way you can do it.....
