If you will spend a few hours getting to know it, Vegas is very easy too and more powerful than people often give it credit for. I do all my edits on Vegas.
Don't even think about Premier or Final Cut if you're just starting out. Great software but a large learning curve. |
Pinnacle is made for idiots. Here are the problems with Pinnacle:
You're putting your watermark on your footage, get everything just about aligned, but then for some reason it won't allow you to apply it to the entire length of your clip...
And then "An Error Has Occured - This application needs to close". Holyfuckingshit, you're thinking...
So you go back, and try and do it again... this time you get everything where you need it, and then you go and save it... "An Error Has Occured" and it closes instantly. WTF!!
Well, after about 10,000 instances of this happening, I switched to Sony Vegas and I'm AMAZED at it's stability and ability to do whatever I want it to do quickly and efficiently. I think in the past 3 years I've used it, it's crashed only once.
If you just sit down with a knowledgeable video editor for about 30 minutes (Or watch some YouTube tutorials on the basics of Sony Vegas) you will pick it up easily and be able to run with it.
