Video Editing Software?

1128 Views 14 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  MattyBoyR6
So, I broke down and bought a video camera with my Fantasy Football winnings. I ordered from Amazon, and have not received the camera yet, so I'm assuming it will come with some video editing software. Was wondering if others have any recommendations.

Yep, it just comes with the cameras these days. Totally plug and play.
The software really does it all once you have it connected. Just sit back and let the technology do all the work for you.
If you're on Mac, iMovie is very capable and free.

If you're on Windows, Windows Movie Maker can do the basics. A friend uses Pinnacle Studio and likes it.
I use Windows Media Player. It is free, simple to use and does everyting I need it to.

You guys know how to embed Video from Flickr or Photobucket ?
Windows Movie Maker works pretty well. I recently started recording AVCHD format HD videos so I tried Sonys Vegas. A lot more complicated, but really nice. You can dowload free trial for 30 days to see if you lie ti.
Wait a minute

Hey man, did you get a Helmet cam yet?
Sony Vegas is nice. I like Adobe Premier and Avid. Both and pretty much all the high end stuff is a little confusing at first with a long learning curve. The software that comes with the camera or Windows Movie maker that comes on the PC are easy to learn and will take care of most transition, text, slow mo and compressions. The more expensive set ups can do overlays, better sound, transitions ect.

Check your math: Third place H2H, plus beat Shaffer in our bowl game. Plus, came in third in my other league. I'm not counting the money I actually spent to enter the league of course :).

Yes, but I usually prefer to ride alone.
if you don't mind spending a few dollars final cut xpress is pretty awesome for the price. With that being said, the work i've seen with iMovie and Windows Movie Maker can be impressive.

I personally use Final Cut Pro but that's more overkill for someone that just wants to slice a few things, add a few titles, music, etc :) //g
It is the last sentence that I was referring to.

I'll be writing it off as gambling loses on my taxes (and no, I have no idea what "writing off" means).
Delete that crud ^^^
