Video Editing Software

[simon275]

Currently I have not been on the forums regularly as I have been in the production stage of a series of video podcasts. I am not happy with my current video editing suite. I have tried Windows Movie Marker, Ulead Video Studio and AVS Video Tools. The final one costing me money. I am looking for software that lets me be frame accurate when editing. Also I am looking for software which lets me put titles in and make the video look like a tv show. I don't want to spend much money so can someone please recommend me a good suite.

Cheers.

Try AVID Free DV (http://avid-free-dv.en.softonic.com/ie/48906)
It's not the best of AVID, but at least, it's free...

VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org/index)

WOW! Thanks guys there is alot of software here that I am currently waiding through. I really want one that lets me put in title bars overlaying the video like on tv.

Tried so far

Avid - Hard to use confusing!
Vdub - Can see how it is good but doesn't have the features I want.

Currently - Downloading Sony Vegas

Sony Vegas Movie studio is so cool. I give it my recommendation. It does everthing I need it to multiple streams of audio and video can import from cameras good overlays. Excellent. Cheers klingelton.

$89.95 US not to bad.

Vegas +DVD

$524.96

drool :eek:

one of the most pricey, but i beleive it's professional level software, that's why it does so much. I like the fact that despite the functionality, it's still pretty easy to use.
