Hey! I'm a beginner in the film world and I was wondering if anyone new if there was any good editing software out there.

'sup, good filmmaker22 :cool:

Windows or Mac, one might ask first?

:)

nothin much, i have a windows

OK Zen... who's the girl in your avatar?

and Windows... I would have to say Vegas by Sony.

Premiere Pro. Full Stop.

Hey there. I just edited my first feature on avid. Got a good version for about 400.00. A friend of mine edited his on PINACLE, which is less expensive. Many will tell you that APPLE Final cut pro is better than PJC Premiere...there you go.

I will be finishing my audio on Premiere...good luck with your projects

Thanks for the info

If you don't have the budget for the full-fledged Premiere Pro software, Adobe also sells a basic stripped-down version of it called Premiere Elements for $99.

They also offer a bundled Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements for $150.

(Vegas also has a $99 no-frills version of their software as well. Forgot what it's called)

Zensteve, do you know where I can get the Premiere Elements?

I've seen it up the road at CompUSA.

Here's the Adobe page for the bundled package.

...and here is the Premiere Elements page, where you can download a demo/trial before ponying over the loot.

I've no idea how good/bad it is compared to PremPro, so it's probably worth doing the demo/trial.

:cool:

Thanks

Its all about the Mac with Final Cut Pro, worth the extra money.. Good Luck.

Man, I'm having a tough time deciding which software to pick. I'll probably have to get demos on all of them.

Hi Filmmaker22, nice to have you here at Indietalk!
