Does anyone know what kind of video editing software is good, i currently have Pinnicale but i hate it. so i need something else.

 

adobe!

 

+1 for adobe premiere

 

it takes a little while to learn it but its a great program lots of plugins, also get after effects you can do just about everything with the two!

 

i have primiere and i can get aftereffects what plug ins are the best and where can i get them?

 

First buy an Apple then get Final Cut Pro.
As for Plug-ins for After Effects, Sapphire from Gen Arts is my favorite.
Also check out Boris Continum Complete and Magic Bullet, I don't really like them but I know about 100 editors/graphic artists who love them.
Digi Effects and RE:Vision Effects are a little dated but pretty cool.
And Knoll Light Factory kicks *** for lens flares.
Nattress Effects are real cheap but I don't know if they are available for PC.

I usually buy direct from the manufacturer but I think Toolfarm.com will work out

 

i have more plugins than an electrician. name some that youre interested in, and ill see if i have them. if not, im sure i can get them.

the only one listed above that i dont have is "Nattress Effects" but like he said, i dont know if its even available for pc.

Hey Dave, can you transfer cdrw files to dvd format?

 

huh? you mean data or movies?

 

cdrw = compact disk re writeable
you can put any data file on a dvd but for playing in a dvd player you'll need like dvdx or a program on that line

 

Ok well I edited a video on my pc, but I was told That I had to have it converted from cdr to dvd and I don't know how to do it. is it possible to take that crd disk and upload it to a pc with a dvd burner then burn it to dvd? please forgive me if I sound like a moron when explaining this.

 

save to the cd as a quicktime, full res, 720X480, highest quality. I think you can get 3-3.5 minutes per cd. then have the pc w/ the DVD burner convert the video. Also you could probably compress your original edit to mpeg 2, burn to cd, import into pc w/ dvd burn and create DVD, probably wont be as easy as the first option but might work. Finally if you could output your edit to tape via firewire then recapture the material on tape via firewire to the pc w the burner that would be the best/quickest way to do it

 

well can you get me the one you think ill use alot or will help with editing a stunt video. this will be my first time so if you have something cool send it my way

 

i have adobe premiere pro 2.0 does someone know where i can get more dvd menus . i also have pinnacle studio and does any one have plug ins for either one . please i need some video editing help.

 

Depends on how much your looking to spend and the capability of your PC! Vegas is good for sure

 

Well, just go with adobe products. If you want to work in a team Premiere is pretty much the best option possible. And if you want to do some 3D stuff go with 3dS max and Maya. You can buy all of these products for a good price as well. Just buy used software here . Everything you need is there.
