hikerwa Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 If you have windows XP I think there is a program that is call movie maker, or something. I think that works good. otherwise there is a movie editing program at Costo for about a hundred bucks. Quote
gapertimmy Posted July 7, 2003 Author Posted July 7, 2003 jah got the fire wire card, dv cam, and xp, but movie maker suxxorz Quote
philfort Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 I use Vegas, from Sonic Foundry. Maybe a little pricey if you don't need anything too fancy (but still cheaper than Premiere I think?), but they have a good entry-level editor called VideoFactory, which is what I started with (60$ I think). Super stable software. You can download trial versions at their website. Windows MovieMaker will work, and its free, but its pretty limited in what you can do. Quote
islander1 Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 Check out Vegas Video 4.0 at http://beta.sonicfoundry.com/products/showproduct.asp?PID=808 I've heard quite a few production house editors raving about it. Also heard a bit of whining about the interface - mostly from ex-Avid editors. Sony acquired Vegas a while back - the jury's out on the implications. There may be a VV forum at www.uemedia.com/CPC/2-pop/index.shtml Could also be one at http://www.creativecow.net/index.php MD Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 fuck it use adobe and leave all else in the dust... you can rip it of the internet too so itis free... lemme know if you need any help trouble shooting Quote
Formaldehead Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 Premiere all the way. The latest version (6.5?), which I don't have, supports dolby surround panning, among other features, but 6.0 works just fine. you'll want to max out your RAM if you're working with video or large projects, like 1G minimum if you can. I also use Acid Pro 3.0 for working with audio, then you can import your WAVs as one audio track, rather than having a shitload of audio tracks in Premiere. Quote
