I'm looking for some Video Editing software that allows me to
- Have more than one video track, so I can do Picture-in-Picture, cross-fades etc.
- Read AVCHD and AVCHD Lite
- Have good options for synchronizing video and audio
- Have a few limited options to cut audio and take parts of audio, just so that background tracks can be made to fit
- Export into at least one standard format, be it uncompressed so that I can do it later
- Compatible with Lion
Usually, Final Cut Pro X would come into mind now, but it's $300. In the Windows world, there's stuff like Pinnacle Systems Studio, but I don't know what's available on a Mac and what doesn't totally "suck" ("Consumer" Products that are limited, naggy and otherwise just a cash grab)

Just FYI, I bit the bullet and went with Final Cut Pro X in the end.
