Video editing

[Log-ologist]

There are a number of people here posting their own videos. Can you recomend a reasonable editing program.

 

I film on a JVC hard drive camera then use the MOD file to make the first edit using Power Director as supplied with the camera. Then I produce a WMV or AVI for upload to Youtube. If I want to add music like on part 2 of the pine vid I then have to use Windows movie maker to add the soundtrack.

 

This all takes time . How do you do it , and what editing software are you using.

Windows moviemaker doesn't work with the .MOD files straight from the camera.

I think for treework, movie maker is just fine....simple and easy to understand. I'm not sure that purchasing different software will speed things up that much, although some might automatically convert your file format, but they may also be more complicated to use.
