--> Ok.. so my gf is having to do some video editing for her senior art show at the memphis college oFart. She has a couple of basic questions.. does anyone know of a good forum or something she could ask a question on? she tried a couple and they weren't very helpful.

the main thing she's wanting to know, is what would be the easiest way to achieve a transistion that would be like a tv flickering on and off.. at some forum they told her taht she would have to make one. Is that true? seems to me like there would have to be some kind of filter or something taht would do it for u.

I dunno, but:
link - they seem very knowledgeable, and more geared towards the creative side rather than some places which seem to emphasize making home movies of the family.
Also she could check the forums for the specific software she is using, to see if someone might have made something like that before - a plugin or script or something.
My feeling is kind of that if it is for her own artwork, she may be better off making one herself since she will be able to control exactly how she wants it to look. It's not my area of expertise by any stretch, and it's not really clear what she wants - like the effect of the picture shrinking and disappearing when you switch off an TV set? or like a faster strobing of the image? I'm sure somebody here can help. I can't remember who the video people are here though.

I would just zoom in and chop out small sections of the file, or apply a very quick brightness fade, depends on what kind of flickering she wants.

Custom transitions for Windows Movie Maker. If it's not in there I'm sure someone on that forums would have it.

You will have to make it unfortunately. There are a ton of transitions and impossible to make all of them presets in any application. Creative Cow has a tutorial for how to do almost exactly that in After Effects. I don't have the link handy, but go to their website and poke around for a bit. It's a video tutorial. It doesn't really look that good imho, but it might at least be a good place to start.
