Video Editing Software
 

Any recommendations?

Ive used Media Studio Pro 6 in the past. Anyone got any favourites and why would you recommend it?

Re: Video Editing Software
 

I would recommend Adobe Premiere, but not used it in ages :(

Need to get a copy tho... ;)

Yeah I use this, forgot which version. It came with my Canon Camcorder, but the only problem with it is that you don't have enough control of the media clip...as in you can't breakapart a 10 second clip into many chunks, for example...

if you can then you've just made my day! :D

You can, if you use the timeline view.
Stretch the timeline, point where you want to cut it and click the 'split' icon above the timeline.

HTH

Adobe Premiere is about the best choice, and its fairly simple to use. Although the new Pro version is a b*stard to use compared to the old 6.5 version, but thats because ive been taught to use 6.5 rather than Pro (version 7) and there are alot of changes :( But there are some nice features in Pro, like being able to add audio plugins to audio tracks, such as compression (useful on vocal tracks etc, keep a constant level :)).

Apart from Adobe, you havnt got alot of choice, unless you want to start getting into top professional editing suits, Avid Studio (i think its called that) will set you back about 3 grand.

As for the sony vegas thing, yea alright :rofl: If sony camrecorders are crap (for the money you pay), then i dont think their "professional" editing software is going to be any better :rolleyes:

iMovie for the mac and Microsoft Movie Maker 2 are both a good starting point and free.

Re: Video Editing Software
 

Tricky, it wasnt a recommendation of any software at all!!! Why get sour grapes and remove rep points??

Re: Video Editing Software
 

I tried the latest version of Adboe Premiere but as i have an AMD processor and not an Intel it doesnt run.

Re: Video Editing Software
 

I use Pinnacle Studio 8. Dead simple to use and has a DVD creation section too.

Re: Video Editing Software
 

Sony do a cutdown version of Vegas, now called Screenblast Movie Studio (:dozey: ). Looks nice and is a more afordable £80ish.

Vegas video (as it was known before Sony took it over) was originally programmed by Sonic Foundry, who have a very good reputation, and their products are used in many studios (recording and TV) and production houses.

Also, not all sony camcorders are crap. OK, the cheaper ones (<£1000 ) are not that good, but the high end amateur and professional ones (VX2000 and up) are pretty good.

Regarding the original question, although I use Premiere 6 at work, I use Pinnacle Studio 8 at home (got it free with my DVD writer). Pinnacle Studio 9 costs £60 ish and can edit video and export straight to DVD.
