Which Video editing package for a beginner
Hi All,
Now I've got a jucy laptop, I thought I'd try my hand at video editing.
Basically, I've got a Digital video camera with firewire and S-Video outputs and a TV with an S-Video output and it would be nice to capture content off both (especially he former) and be able to fiddle with it.
Can anyone suggest a good, inexpensive starter package and the appropriate leads?
Many thanks,
Ns04

If you're using XP you've got Movie Maker, which is basic but will suffice for many:

Otherwise there are many for beginners to fit your budget, such as . . .
PowerDirector
ShowBiz DVD
VideoStudio
Premiere Elements
Easy Media Creator
Pinnacle Studio Plus
WinDVD Creator
Nero
Vegas Movie Studio DVD
DVD Movie Factory

I'd avoid Pinnacle studio like the plague. It's bug ridden and the tech support is terrible. Likewise with Easy media creator, (I've unfortunately had first hand experience of both).
I'm now using SpeedEdit, (which for a 1st version of a piece of software is very impressive, and I think better than Premiere Pro) but I think that may be out of your price range. Premiere Elements is probably a good bet...

depends how techie you want to be. PinnacleStudio & Ulead(videostudio/moviefactory) are simple products aimed at families and produce good results very quickly. Premiere is tougher to get into as theres too much info on screen and not as visually intuitive but naturally will give much better results after time.
