    Video Editing Software

    Hey I have a firewire camcorder and I commonly copy videos into my computer to make most generally .mpg files. I am pretty good with computers in general but I'm not real up to speed with the video editing software as to what's the best. I use Pinnacle Studio 8 right now but it's a few years old and I'm sure there's better out there. Basically I would prefer something that doesn't copy into the computer in real time (yuck). Thanks and if I don't respond right a way, I don't always have access to the internet as of right now.

    I stick to the basics, really, and just use Windows Movie Maker.

    I guess it all depends on what you're doing the editing for though.

    Depends what you want, and how much you want to spend (if you spend anyways). I suggest Ulead Media Studio 7.0 or better, and not Ulead Video Studio anything. If you want to go high end though, Adobe Premiere is what you want for a windows based system. Adobe After Affects is a nice addition for it if you really know what you are doing.

    If you are on a Mac though, Final Cut Pro is the only way to go.

    True, I use all the Adobe/Macromedia stuff but haven't edited video in a few years.

    On a Mac Final Cut Express is a midway alternative between iMovie and Final Cut Pro. (in Features and Cost).

    I guess I should add that I run Windows, thanks for your help so far.

    Re: Video Editing Software

    What exactly are you looking to do with the program you want? Simple cutting and trimming clips together? Special effects?
