wigenOut-S30 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I have A new Digital HDD sony video camera. I can burn it directly to DVD fine. But I want to edit and convert it to smaller WMV;s or MPG's. I tried using a program called showbiz and I get errors as well as trying to use the windows movie maker. I copied the high quality video clips to my PC and then import them into window movie maker. I get an error then and I cannot edit it or anything. Anyone out there using anything else for editing.. thats either free or cheap? Or have any clues on how I can use it with windows movie maker?

typhoone Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 there are so many ways to get software without paying for it, not many of them are "legal" but there are plenty of ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woj Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I haven't used Adobe Premier since version 6 or so, but I never really liked it. Last time I tried Windows Movie Maker it was just a big turd and couldn't even do full resolution. This was around 2002 or 2003 though, and I have heard Adobe Premier is a lot better. The best [cheap] movie editing software I have used it iMovie, but that requires a Mac. If you are a student you can land a cheaper version of Avid Media Composer (what the pro's use) called "Avid Xpress Pro" for about $300. From personal experience, Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer are the best around. Unfortunately, the former is $1300 and requires a Mac, the latter is $5000.

ZR8ED Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 You can try Adobe Premier 3.0. That is what I use. I just got it. 100 bucks ain't bad. I'm still learning, but from an amature point of view, I am very pleased so far. I hope to learn a few more tricks, to make my vids even better. Good luck. Scott.
