I got vegas 9 from best buy for about 80 bucks. That is not expensive at all for an editing program. Its not "vegas pro", but it will be just fine for gopro hd videos.

I just use iMovie. Not as powerful as some of the other ones, but I find it really easy and straight forward.

I had an old pinnacle too and fortunately it qualified for their upgrade program and get the latest version at a discount. Check Avid's website.

I use to use Vegas back when i had a PC and i found it great but didn't have a Gopro back then. Now i got a Gopro and a macbook i use Final Cut Pro. It took abit of getting use to but i like it now. You have to convert the files first tho which gets abit annoying for larger/longer clips.

I use Vegas but it takes forever to encode H.264 video. Still trying to figure that one out.
