Craig 0 #1 September 4, 2002 I was looking for some editing software to play around with, specifically Ulead Video Studio or Pinnacle Studio. If anyone has any expierence with these programs I'd like to hear. I know there is also a program by Adobe but I'm not sure about it. I was looking back in the archives but figured there might be some new users out there. In any event I'm just interested in what poeple like and why?

mountainman 0 #2 September 4, 2002 Welll, I just got the hookup with Adobe Premiere 6.5 and it is pretty awesome. It looks exactly the same as 6.0, however I think that it has some more real-time features which allows you to work without having to render everything. I have never used anything else PC based. Good luck on your search. http://www.brandonandlaura.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #3 September 4, 2002 Adobe is pretty much the standard editing software. Getting anything else is kind of like buying a Non-Sony DV camera. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bogwarrior 0 #5 September 4, 2002 pretty much echo that , adobe is the dogs. There are also some excellent plug ins available for it such as EZ cleaner which allow you to make mpegs and realplayer videos for streaming over the web. etc. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iflyme 0 #6 September 9, 2002 I'm using Studio 7 by Pinnacle systems. They make excellent consumer, industrial, and professional products. I 've been editing videotape for 15 years preofessionally, and am satisfied with what I can do with studio seven on my desktop at home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmfreefly 0 #8 September 9, 2002 I have used both ULead's Video Studio and Media Studio Pro products. Video studio is a bit too kindergarden for my tastes. Media Studio pro is actually pretty nice. It is fairly intuitive, except for getting used to ripple inserts/etc. (it is often an obstacle in any NLE). Renders do take forever though. However, the kicker was that slo-motion through the NLE looked like complete crap. I recently went on the hunt for a better NLE or NLE/board combination to allow me to do our DZs Xmas video faster. Was looking at Pinnacle Pro-One (using Adobe Premier) and Matrox R.100 (using Adobe Premier). Both were looking good, and then I stumbled on to AVID's products. Their Xpress DV 3.5 software is what I ended up going with. If you are a student, you can get it for like $600 bucks, instead of $2500. Truthfully, it is worth $2500. AVID is a software only solution (no board), so as you bump up your horsepower on your computer, it runs faster. Oh yeah, did I mention it runs on both XP and a Mac? It does most editing (preview) real-time, but you will still have to render for a DV stream. However, there are only a few boards than can do any real time DV stream. (Oh, slo-mo on AVID is A-MAZING) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites newshooter12 0 #9 September 10, 2002 A couple years ago when I was working in television market #77 i started to learn Avid Newscutter. My brother and a guy I work with took delivery of an Avid Express DV system from Promax. They dealt with Dana and the first week out of the box they cut a half-hour show in addition to their 40+ hr/wk jobs. Lets just say all of the Avid software, systems, and support that I've seen have been top notch. (they'll send you out demo videos, DVDs, and software if you check out the website.) They built the software for editors and you can see it when you compare it to other systems. The others may look similar, but most can't do realtime with up to 3 layers of video (something like 10 max) and 4 layers of audio (99 max). It's an extremely versitile software base that can and will grow with you as far as your creativity will take you. Avid DV express v3.5 rocks. Except as jmfreefly said, that if you're not a student you need to commit the $1500 to $2500 depending on what bells and wistles you want or need. Or about $5k for a pretty kick-butt dedicated system. good journeys, Matt Ersing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
