Re: Video Editing Software
Well our team has an old G3 sitting unused in the corner of the shop. I guess I could try to get iMovie running on it. I'm not sure I will be able to get Premire. Maybe if the school has a copy I will, but if they don't I doubt that the team would get it for our group since it is expensive - and I don't want to get it illegitimately.

Re: Video Editing Software
I've heard that the new Premiere pro is really good, but premiere six is still above average. I've used old versions of avid cinema and hated it, but I haven't used more recent versions of Avid products. Windows movie maker is terribly simple and limited and not worth using unless you have no other options. As for iMovie, I dislike it as well. The transitions are its only saving quality. After four years of OSMTech, I have developed a hatred for all things mac and found that PC users really feel their programs are annoying to work in. I'd like to try some of discreet's high level software as well as Final Cut Pro.

Re: Video Editing Software
Alright. I'm going to look into seeing if anyone at the school has Premier and if we could use it for our animation.

FCP has really evolved from the first version, and there a lot more features in version 4, than in version 1. Also FCP is not meant to be on a pro mac, not a consumer mac. So you are obviously going to get poor performance on a consumer type mac. In FCP 4, a lot of the rending stuff is real time or close to real time on a high-end g4 or a g5. |

Re: Video Editing Software
Premiere is awesome, the thing I love about it is you can export movies as a filmstrip and import that into photoshop, then edit your movie in photoshop and put it back into premiere. Great for effects.

Re: Video Editing Software
Other than jashaka, there are several other really nice open-source video editing tools:
virtualdub, cinelerra, filmgimp I have used the first two personally and the 3rd is more for touch up and really advanced stuff... studios use it for basically doing special effects manually. It's the wonderful image editor, the GIMP, modified to operate with video. Cinelerra runs only with linux and has a bit of an attitude problem sometimes. VirtualDub is great but is limited and doesn't have the interface you might be expecting... (it's still absolutely wonderful however) And runs on windows only... (drat it, ah well... what's wine for!) |

For a long time I used FCP I have used versions 1,2, and 3. I am not dissatified with FCP but dissatified with macs. They are too expensive compared to simalarly equipped PCs. This does not make financial sense to me. Also I am using Premire Pro right now and it is very much better then previous versions. Its almost better then Avid and FCP, my other favorites. And its alot cheaper. Good luck this year -Andy |

Re: Video Editing Software
Cinelerra is cheaper than all of these.... unless there's a good video editing tool cheaper than free...
Has a few problems, but it's a solid tool if you know how to use it. Nice keyboard based interface if you want too. |

Re: Video Editing Software
I used to use it just for encoding... now I use mencoder... which is even better.
But yes, it's more niche application than really a complete environment, but it can be used as such. All depends on the person. |

Re: Video Editing Software
I use windows movie maker for all of the videos i make with friends...its very easy to use. The only real problems I've had with it is the limitation there is on editing. An example is that you will have a little trouble editing out the middle of scenes, it is far easier to edit the middle and end. But i really enjoy using it.
