Video editing

[Jason James Gairn]

You could try Avid xpress dv. Newer versions exist that handle HDV and HD, but this basic version is great. New systems will cost thousands as Avid only supports high minimum system requirements. Ebay has complete systems going cheeper. Apple's Final cut pro is popular and more user friendly for sure. Avid on the other hand is complex yet powerful.

Macs of course come with I movie, which is fun.

Never used Vegas, would be interested to hear if anyone has feedback.

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

 

For basic editing, it will take some time. I use tape and 3hrs of footage equates to 5 hrs of digitising. From that 3 hrs I would hope to get 5 mins of used footage. Editing for 5 min film could take from 5 mins to 5 weeks and beyond!!! Some one of wisdom of whose name I have forgotten said;"great art is never finished, it's just abandoned" or there abouts.
