So it looks like most people are using Adobe Premier for making videos. I am using a Sony DCR-TRV530 camera and am looking for a program to do some basic videos.
Not very stable program, but you can make a decent vid with it. Lots of features. It is the only low cost software I've had success with. I use pinnacle Edition and Adobe Premiere.
well im sure u prob know this but in case you dont if you have a mac they have a built in program called imovie. it is similar to the studio 9 but for macs.
it all about vegas by sony ( i think) used to be owned by sonic foundry but then it got bought out. Has tons of easy to use spec effects and what not!! ITs like a bundle of 3, acid pro-audio editing something else and vegas. I bought it over a year ago so im not sure where or what or for how much it is nowadays. HOWEVER i am sure that if you d0 a littl research on sony's website under programs or whatever you would be able to find it easily and it is definitely well worth the time and money.
VideoWave 7 is just released, and is awesome. You can go further and get it in one suite package in Media Creator 7 which also include's Roxio's newest burning software and their PhotoSuite 7. see this link for a quick review. I love the product and how well it works -
You can download a free trial of ulead video studio 7 on the ulead homepage. even if you do not use it for your day to day editing, it has some pretty good effects.
