Need Video Editing Software... Whats Really Good?
 

Instead of paying some overloaded guy $250 for a trailer and waiting weeks and weeks for it to be completed..

I figure I'll just buy me some video editing software and learn how to do it myself...

Whats really good

Sony Vegas 5

Final Cut Pro for the Mac rocks!! Thats what my wife uses to edit.

Avid, if you can afford it

Final Cut Pro.

I got final cut pro for a new mac and have no idea how to use it since my DV camera does not have fire wire. How do I connect it to the mac?

Adobe Premiere

I've heard good things about Vegas as well.

What make & model camera do you have?

I thought that all DV video cameras had fire wire or IEEE 1394 connections.

Really good or really easy?
If you want really easy and cheap...

Pinnacle 9 will do what you need.

the adobe line is great :thumbsup

Vegas Video is all you need for the web. Then get CleanerXL to batch your various file types.

notepad.exe

I use Adobe Premiere Pro.

I think I'm the overloaded guy. LOL
Good luck learning to cut trailers in less time. Making trailers is boring work that a smart businessman wouldn't bother making.

programs, time, and frustration is not worth 250? Hmmm.. To bad I only charge 180. I think I need to up my price.

We have over 100 videos to edit and I'm afraid it's a job I need to get back into. Our editor can't keep up. :(

I can edit on a linear suite no problems, but the Ulead Pro 7 I have is far to clever for a dumb arse like me. Tried Help and got even more confused

Guess I will have to buy Adobe and go to the classes they set up. Sucks to be stupid. :eyecrazy

Adobe Premiere is what I use (and love).
