etasman2000 15994 Report post Posted November 2, 2009 What are you currently using ? iMovie which comes with every Mac does a decent job. I have edited several DVDs with it. Adobe Premiere would be my next choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanx Rachelle What are you using now ? Pinnacle is a consumer version of AVID which is pretty much THE non linear edit system of choice by professionals these days, final cut pro also an idustry standard, Sony Vegas is another good consumer app and of course there's windows movie maker. Rachelle, drop me a pm if you wish more details or suggestions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottanon 2930 Report post Posted November 2, 2009 If you want if easy you really should go to a mac. I use both. If you dont have a MAC you can find some good refurbished ones on usedottawa.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bassnut 178 Report post Posted November 2, 2009 I use Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultra as well as Magix Movie Edit Pro depending on what it is I am doing at the time. Both are good depending on what it is you are trying to do. Pinnacle is now in eddition 14 and usses allot of addon pack which can get expensive. http://www.magix.com/us/movie-edit-pro/?partnerid=9015 http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Studio+Family/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricco 411 Report post Posted November 4, 2009 If you have a machine with Vista or Windows 7 the built in Windows Movie Maker is decent. It isn't as robust as some commercial software, but it's fairly straightforward and cheap :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
