video editing?

[reaper020]

With everyone getting helmet cams I was just wondering what is the recomended software for video editing?

everyone i have been talking with on my thread like and uses the sony magic...i do not have it but will be getting it. i am using windvd intervideo creator for toshiba that came with my laptop it works but sounds like the sony one might be better.

Its actually called Sony Movie Studio,sorry for misleading but moviemagic is part of the software,pick it up anywhere!

im using the free windows movie maker

works pretty good once ure into it

thing i dont like is that u gotta cut the videos first though

Avidemux 2.5.4 gets goods ratings at cnet, and its free.

Works well...IMHO.
Like most video editing software expect some initial confusion.
After you get your vid all cropped up with Avidemux you can then add music/affects with your Windows Movie Maker, works well...IMHO and also free.

Windows Movie Maker for XP Windows XP: Movie Maker 2.1 Download

Windows Movie Maker for Windows 7 Windows Live Movie Maker 2011
During the install process of Windows Live Movie Maker you may be prompted to install other Windows Live components, don't bother...IMHO.

Good luck with your videos reaper020

I use Adobe Premier Elements 8. It is a little pricey but I have used it for years and really like it. Have played around with the windows one that comes on the laptop or desktop but they don't do what Adobe does.

I use iMovie, and this is what happened.

All the vids on my channel are made using iMovie.

Its IMovie 11 from ILife 11 posted up my first vid in snowmobile chat, but it uploaded to youtube in 360 and 480 and the quality is crap. I have HD cam so want HD vids to be published any suggestions

I was using Adobe Premier Elements 8 and it works fairly well. Problem is it doesn't work well with the new 64 bit Windows 7 desktop I got this fall. Even in the 32 bit XP emulation. It's very unstable to the point my files get corrupt and I cant open them any more. I tried out the trial version of PowerDirector 9 and it seems to be a good program. It looks like the only 64 bit editor package that doesn't cost $1K or more. I think I may buy it.
