Go and BUY MAGIX Movie Edit Pro!! It'll cost $20 - $50 Dollars. Buy the newest version. I've used it for over 5 years, but it'll take about a year to gain a handle on the controls. I know Avid and Adobe and they pale in comparison. The sky is the limit with the software and you can find it online easy, too. The ONLY thing that you CAN'T do is reverse sound, but when is that ever necessary? Other than that, any other audio idea is obtainable, but I also recommend LOGIC for Audio, or look into the Audio Engineering Programs that MAGIX also produces, but they're VERY expensive. And by the way, Adobe can reverse audio. It's the only time that I use it. Comes with DvD Authoring Componets, too. I'm telling ya, amazing stuff. I upgrade every couple of years and am hardly disappointed. *(Montetre)

Okay, really that's true, I know. I should have just referred to the person posing the question. I have Avid Express Pro HD too, but I'm not gonna suggest that to anyone starting out.

It won't suit my damn needs, not by a long shot! If you want your work to look professional, or at least very good, then you gotta use the right tools. Vegas might be fine for YouTube, but not for features, or any project where you need to accomplish something technically complicated. Just sayin'... ^_^

The inexpensive version of Vegas will more than suit anyone's needs.

Thanks everyone! When you are speaking of Vegas, are you talking about the $50 version or the mecha version at $500 (pro)

I got Vegas Studio 9 (the cheap version, but the big pak with sound forge) and I'm really happy with it.

My recommendation is Vegas as well.

I use vegas with great results ..also theres a less expensive one i used called magix video deluxe..seemed to be great value..and easy to use..

yes, and that's true of all kinds of software products. But I've found 30 day trials for the most part don't help since one needs to be able to commit time to learning the program and with a full time day job and a couple of evening gigs every week and sometimes on the weekends, a 30 day trial more often than not means one or two sessions where mostly what I'm doing is learning. Windows Movie Maker is free so I could take the six months or so it took to find enough time overall to get to the point where I understand video editing enough to know I need a bit more power. So I really appreciate the input in places like this. I did do photoshop on a trail basis before I bought it, but only because I'd been working with a graphics editor for years and knew what kinds of things I expected it to be able to do for me.

Elements doesn't allow the multiple track capability of Sony Vegas.

brandon, you do realize, right, that you can download a fully-functional 30-day trial of Premiere (as well as practically any Adobe software)?

In my research last night I found quite a few good things said about Sony Vegas movie studio. If I understood what I was reading, I can have up to 4 video tracks as well as lots of audio tracks. Does Elements allow multiple video tracks?

brandon 2008-07-25T13:25:09Z wonder warrior http://Budgetfilming.tribe.net/thread/b1efe3b9-c6ce-46d5-a7e8-b2a3ea67644d#6ef317f0-61f7-4265-89b6-371a0be29741 2008-07-25T00:01:15Z 2008-07-25T00:01:15Z

Premiere Elements 4 is still the one then. In regards to titling, Windows Movie Maker is just easier, but Elements 4 has more options. As far as working for youtube,you can simply render a smaller file version of a full-size project.

I'm considering going for Elements, but am disturbed when you say Movie Maker does better titles. That's one of the areas I was hoping to find a bit more flexibility with, like duration of fade and so forth. Do you know of anywhere that compares the editing features of the three you've mentioned? Everywhere I look, I keep finding junk about blu-ray and dvd and all I'm looking for is something that will work for youtube. But something with a bit more flexibility than movie maker.

Windows Movie Maker is surprisingly more than capable of doing decent work. In terms of buying software that is inexpensive- you've got a choice of Adobe Premiere Elements 4 or Sony Vegas Movie. Premiere Elements 4 is very easy and similar to Windows Movie Maker, but with some more features, yet I find Movie Maker better for titling. Now Vegas Movie really can give you pro results on a budget! Great video and audio features, but not so easy.

Free is a good price. If you have a Mac, you probably have iMovie, which is perfectly fine to learn with. If you have a Windows box, you probably have Windows MovieMaker, which is also perfectly functional. If you have a Linux box, I've heard good things about Kino, but I don't know much about Linux apps. They can do about 90% of what you'll need to learn the basics. And they're all free

Hello all, I have only recently reacquired a filming device, now I need a way to edit things I film. Software I hear is the way to go, given I have a digital camera, but the question is, what is a good thing for me to start out with, and what's affordable? Ideal progarm is: >Easy to learn >Affordable >Enough function to get by with. One of my interests is animation, so some capabilities with that would be good. Just looking to add a few tweaks then post it somewhere, really. Nothing extravagant to start. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
