video editting software

got a flip but the flip editor is so basic. i want something that has more editting choices. anyone have any advice on what program to get for a beginner??

let me know some names

 

mac or pc?

 

iMovie is a good starting point. Final Cut is really good too, and pricey.

 

umm pc, price doesnt matter. but i dont want something extreme and hard to figure out

 

Vegas Studio is decent. I used to use Pinnacle Studio back in the day, but i guess their new stuff is pretty good.

Adobe Premiere is my current favorite.

 

I use Pinnacle Studio 14. Pretty easy to learn and fairly easy to use.

Windows Movie Maker isnt that bad. Not sure what kind of output the flip uses, I have the kodak playsport and it exports in .mov format and movie maker wont read it, so i had to switch to Pinnacle.

 

Adobe Premiere is the way to go if you have the money or are comfortable going through the torrent process.

 

Adobe after effects

 

Awesome way to further enhance your Premiere based projects. Highly recommended.

 

Vegas or Premier.

I just finished making my first video using IMovie on Mac.
It was very easy and came out looking very professional.
If I can do it, anyone can!

 

Pinacle Studio is a great non-break-the-bank personnal video editing software suite. I've been using it since it was buggy...I record my boys wrestling, football, and rugby with it... I don't use a lot of it's capabilities... You can check out some of my videos here http://www.youtube.com/user/dwsull1

The rugby one is focused on my big boy DSully72 (in taco world)...
