Any suggestions for a good video editing program for a PC? I usually use Windows Movie Maker, but it's really a big pain in the kneecap.

Thanks in advance.

danas · 08-02-2010, 01:43 AM

For PC Avid xpress or Premiere
For Mac Final Cut Pro

These are professional programs. Quite simple to learn though

I'm currently using Sony Vegas (on PC). I used Premiere before, and it's pretty good. However, Premiere seems to be relatively picky with video material, and Sony Vegas is a little bit better at handling different video formats and codecs.

Final Cut Pro is awesome, but costs $1000. If you want something inexpensive, try iMovie.

I really like Sony Vegas too. It's light, fast, has plenty of features to make great looking professional videos. Also the latests versions are fully compatible with Windows 64 bits, which is great.

AjaTrinidad · 08-02-2010, 09:02 PM

Which version of Sony Vegas are you guys using?

theknightwhosaysni-NI · 08-03-2010, 01:26 PM

The one I use is called Movie Studio HD Platinum.

That looks awesome! I'll definitely look into it. Cheers! (What the hell, I guess I'm British now)

AjaTrinidad · 08-03-2010, 06:59 PM

Egad! It's expensive! Still looks great though. Sorry, bank account...

LostMyMap · 08-03-2010, 10:21 PM

Don't know if this would fit your needs, but there is a "Premiere Elements" version for cheap that might do what you need until you can spend some more. Haven't used it but have used Photoshop Elements and is fine for me.

movie editor, movie editing software | Adobe Premiere Elements 8

Just me, or is there some Rush influence going on in that song?

I'll probably get Sony Vegas. It seems like exactly what I need.

Hey Aja, just wanted to give you a shout out that I really liked your video about confidence. What level of TM are you?

Thanks...what's TM?

*waits to see if it's something painfully obvious that my tired brain isn't registering*

MidasGirl · 08-05-2010, 01:46 AM

Ha ha.
=ToastMasters. . Your speaking is very polished in a professional way, very Toastmaster-y. If you've never heard of them, then I bow to you, most people don't have the natural ability to speak that well without ums, uhs, all sorts of non-words etc. Most importantly, your delivery itself is very polished.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna have to pm you to find out who did your blog site.

Ah, Toastmasters. I've only recently heard of them. I'd like to do some speaking in the near future, so someone suggested I join. Thank you, by the way.

If you want your video to look professional, or just keep the viewers watching, you will want to use a combination of either Sony Vegas Pro. 7 (anything about Vegas 7.0 pro is good) and Adobe After Effects CS4 or Adobe Premiere with Adobe After Effects CS4.

You might want to check out Lightworks. It's an old professional grade video editor that is currently being made open-source by the guys that make EditShare (professional raids for Avid and FinalCut).
