Ramar Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 So I've been using Windows Movie Maker but I want a more complete or more advanced video editter. I'm making a video using counter-strike clips, with background music. So if you can recommend me some decent software, preferably freeware I'd be very greatful.
Caris Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Sony vegas is what i use, if your on a Mac get Final Cut Express/Studio (it's indusrty standard), adobe premiere is also good.

Shino Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 and if you don't have a mac (yet)... http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/StoreReentry.wo?family=Moviedeal Noticed how Caris said "IF your on a Mac" ? Edit: Incidentally, this might be the best CAD strip ever.
Bogbas Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 There's an open source(free) editing program also available. http://www.jahshaka.org And it works on windows, linux and osx. I can't say much about it though as I haven't used it actually. But it's free so you might want to try it.

Jasper Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Noticed how Caris said "IF your on a Mac" ? Edit: Incidentally, this might be the best CAD strip ever. What's up with this lame underdog-bashing going on here lately? Without mac, windows wouldn't be nearly as good as it is now and macos X wouldn't stand so far in the future without windows. There's no much needless bashing lately, it's pafetic. Couldn't we all just be nice guys and admit that, while they're underdog, they might just make the best prodeucts? if the roles were turned, Microsoft would make the better products, too. Simply because the underdog jsut does that. That doesn't justify the need of stupid apple-bashing. Sorry, guys, but this is getting out of hand. At least come with some usefull arguments if you want to bash. On Topic: Final Cut has been advised, but you can work wonders with iMovie if you're on mac and Adobe Premiere is a very good one too (I've worked with it and Adobe proves the lot). Just make sure you have heaps of RAM and a good processor or you can just forget editing videos totally.
Ramar Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 My PC can handle video editting.. I just need software for a Windows PC..
Jasper Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 My PC can handle video editting.. I just need software for a Windows PC.. Only iMovie doesn't work on a PC, all the rest is just as compatible on a Windows PC. So get Final Cut pro by apple or Premiere (or the entire quite wich includes sound editing and all)from Adobe.
DCK Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I found that Magix Video Studio or whatever works pretty intuitive. I'm a total noob on this subject though so don't take my word it's a good program. All I can say that it works quite well if you're a novice.
Emasher Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 if you want a good movie editing program use a mac. a mac is the type of computer that is normally used in movie production. and heres my comback for that comic http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/
Caris Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 My PC can handle video editting.. I just need software for a Windows PC.. If your not doing anything pro and want something good and easy to use just get Sony Vegas.
Ramar Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 I looks like I'll download the trial of it. I'm not going to buy it for a small css video.
Cube Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 and heres my comback for that comic http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/ Since when was a "comeback" posting the exact thing the comic is taking the mick out of?

Bogbas Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Macs are nice and all that but they wouldn't be helpful in this situation. 1. It would be a waste of money (note: "preferably freeware" in first post) 2. If there's a need to get new footage, you just can't fire up taxi/fraps and css on a mac. You'd still need a windows pc to do that. And then you'd have to transfer them from one machine to the other. 3. (relates to 1.) Getting a mac to do this job would be as sensible as shooting a fly with a bazooka.
Ramar Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 *cough*warez*cough* Tends not to be my style. I'm an iTunes kind of guy, gather the rest.

Thank you Bogbas for making it clear for the macboys amongst us.

Ramar Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 Bit of a belated bump really, but I'm still looking for some software.
Letty Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 So I've been using Windows Movie Maker but I want a more complete or more advanced video editter. I'm making a video using counter-strike clips, with background music. So if you can recommend me some decent software, preferably freeware I'd be very greatful. If you're willing to spend a little (lot? I dunno) theres always pinnacle studios. For windows pcs too I've not used it myself, but Ive heard its an ok program.
Cube Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I've not used it myself, but Ive heard its an ok program. Until it comes to burning the film to DVD. Unless they've massively improved it since version 8.
Fresh Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Bit of a belated bump really, but I'm still looking for some software. *cough* torrent *cough* Adobe premiere pro *cough*
Sarka Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Pinnacle isn't that expensive. £63 here There is also Avid Free which is meant to be pretty damn good, especially considering that is is free, check it out here I personally bought a Mac and got Final Cut. Woop!
