Hi all,
Anyone have a video editing package they use (and recommend) for doing home movie editing and such on Windows? I'm interested in video cutting, splicing, transparent overlays (titles), adding custom audio and being able to create DVD menus with buttons.
I've been using Pinnacle Studio Plus 10 and while it looks nice and can do the things I mentioned above, it's almost a complete waste of time. It locks up, crashes, degrades video (and still picture) quality as soon as you import them. Perhaps a different codec would help, but haven't gone that far yet. After I got Studio, I discovered others have had major problems also.
I have also tried VirtualDub and ZS4 (both free). Looks like VD can't do all I want and ZS4 is very slow and technical. (I'd like my wife to be able to edit her videos easily as well)
You guys/gals have anything you like for stuff like this? I should just get a Mac and run Final Cut Pro, right?
Thanks!
