Editing movies from Sony SR55E or any Sony Hard Disk camera

[Colin Brett]

Not so sure I am the guy for you I use Sony Vegas 8, plenty of bells and whidtles, but I tend to just trim/split and add a bit of title and I have added music as well

 

Main reason for this editing/making movie, is in order to make dvd's. All the dvd writing stuff I have used, wants to put "buttons" in for every clip, making those clips in to one movie, means just one button.

 

I have bought, used and discarded several different vid editing ptograms, they all worked, the one I liked best was Pinnacle 10, but it won't/didn't edit HD.

 

I am not sure just what you can do with moviemaker..............

 

Video editing can be great fun, and very satisfying, but I find I tend to forget how to do things if I don't do any for a while.

That's basically all I want to do at present, but find navigating around some of the programs tedious and confusing. I probably need to be shown how to do things as I'm usually fairly good at hands on stuff.

 

Thanks Den and Jeepster.

Pretty good Colin, but I just know that you can do better.

This site gives some info on optimising video for youtube. It's written from a QuickTime/Mac OS X perspective, but the advice is good for any video editing software on any system

 

If one were to download the PC version of QuickTime, and than search Google for where Dawn M. Fredette lives one might get a free upgrade to Quicktime PRO
