anyone prep video content on mac/OSX platform perhaps..?
 

hey all... just wondering if any of those who prep video content for paysites here use Mac/OSX platform to do their work perhaps? and if so, what software do you make use of?

i'm not talking editing movies or authoring dvd's here though, more cutting/chopping media into segments, watermarking and such before doing final encoding... FCP seems to be wild overkill for this sort of work, just wondering if any OSX users might shed some light on the best/easiest tools for doing basic prep work on OSX.

any pointers and/or insight would be greatly appreciated, thx in advance all..!

Use I Movie....buy I-Life 06...and then buy a plug-in called EZmedia...its available at the Apple Store...great for transitions....watermarking etc...then use Media Cleaner 6 for compression

thx friend, i will take a look at the latest iMovie tonight then. don't suppose you know offhand what media formats can be worked w/ in iMovie natively perhaps? mpeg-2, mpeg-4, .avi, etc..?

With media cleaner...you can do any format...I movie is basically capturing and editing software...you then encode in whatever format you wish in media cleaner...cleaner is available at http://www.discreet.com...the only problem with them is to my knowlege you cannot do wmv files beyond windows 7 because they havnt updated yet
