Canopus Report post Posted April 30, 2006 Does anybody know about video editing software? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baddad Report post Posted April 30, 2006 Hi Canopus... I've tried Pinaccle studio (buggy) and Magix Movie edit pro (better, but then I discovered that OCCASSIONALLY the audio is incompatible with some stand alone players - never been able to fathom why though!) Adobe Premier elements is reckoned to be the dogs doobrey's, and now i've got XP I'll be buying that and Photoshop elements very soon... hope that helps BD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNeil Report post Posted May 2, 2006 Been a long time since I had to do any video editing but I always found that the ULead's software was really powerful but also very easy to get to grips with. I might be wrong but I think it starts at a fairly reasonable price too - got to be worth a look Or, if you're a tightwad, give VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.com/) a try - it's not the most powerful app in the world but it's freeware so won't cost anything to try Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mossgrove Report post Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) It's worth having a look in a large newsagent like WH Smiths. Slightly out of date or trial versions often crop up as a freebie on Computer Magazine cover disks, at the very least it will give you a better idea of what you are looking for. You will probably need a firewire card to transfer the data from the camera to your PC, many firwire cards come bundled with suitable software. Personally I have used Ulead Video Studio in the past but it costs (It is very good) but it costs about ?40 so you may want to shop around for something cheaper. Simon EDIT: Just found this on ebay, VideoStudio will probably be some kind of feature-restricted demo version, but it would be really hard to go too far wrong at that price! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Firewire-1394-4-Port...1QQcmdZViewItem Edited May 2, 2006 by mossgrove Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
