1. I make all of my own clips using ImTOO DVD Ripper 4 that I bought online. About $30-40, but all you do is stick the dvd in , label the chapters and it rips to whatever format you desire.
2. I edit my vids with ULead VideoStudios 10, a program that I bought at a local CompUSAS. You import your clips, your music, add effects-it's very user friendly and I am slowly learning how to do more with the effects as I make new vids. Most PC's come with Windows Movie Maker, and while I really like theur effects, the program ultimately craps out.
3. Yeah, I do storyboard. I hate vids where people take the lyrics very literally or just slap clips together. I take the lyrics then spend a couple days agonizing over what clip represents the best visage for that particular part of the song. I also try to edit the timing of the clip to coincide with beats of the music. My latest, "What Hurts Most" is up at my site and I was very pleases with how the music and the vid action melted together.

Wait! A WINDOWS APPLICATION CRASHED?! Impossible, I say!
But seriously, Linux comes with so many video editors. And it is all, of course, freeware, which is always a good thing. I actually crashed my movie player in Linux once. It gave me the error "MPlayer has crashed. This shouldn't be happening."
