RIPPEN Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 Since I got a new video cam this year I want to be able edit some videos for posting or whatever. I know that there are several of you on here that seem to know how to do this stuff pretty good. Curious what I need to do or what programs you guys all recomend. I want something somewhat easy to use, as Iam not that great with comp. Iam also not needing anything to crazy, just want to do some simple stuff. Thanks RIPPEN Quote

Thanks RIPPEN I took 4 years in a course at the local college for video design... First things first you need a bad ass pc... MORE RAM = LESS STRESS alot of pc video editing programs use alot of ram or system resouces to run / render videos. Adobe premier is a very very good program to use , you can get off limewire or any other illegal software downloading website . Once you get the hang of it the creative'ness will take off and you will be making cool videos in no time. Reccomended : adobe premier my editer : 3.9g overclocked to 4.20g, 2.5gb ram good 3d card : 256 ddr3 x 2 ( sli ) dual monitor output is always great for big time line editing , i run 3 monitors and a seperate tv with vcr ( for recording out ) .... What it all comes down to is the pc , the longer you edit the more resources the actual project will take up. If you got a few questions or need help with editing shoot me a pm. I will show you what i know Quote
Meat Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 ahh you don't need all that fancy stuff that chase is talkin about. Just use Microsofts Movie Maker program that comes with Windows XP Quote
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 windows movie maker...... it should be on your system already if not search microsoft... Quote
[email protected] Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 advanced programs , advanced graphic design....... although windows movie player is a good starter program Quote

Gargamel Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 Adobe Premier sucks ass unless you like complicated programs, I'm a simple person and the program is over my head. Sorry I hate Adobe, the programs are not user friendly IMO. Windows movie maker does the job just fine and is super easy to use. I bought the Adobe Premier program and wasted money cause I hate to use it. There went $250 out the window , if anyone likes the program I'll give you a good deal You should have no problems figuring out windows movie maker, it's simple Quote
RNBRAD Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 I use Roxio easy media creator 8. It's pretty sweet but takes a little time to learn. Quote
flanders Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 I used adobe premier for a couple years in hs, then i got vegas video 5.0. it took a while to get used to the different functions/controls, but from a beginners perspective, i would probably say vegas is easier to use, not to mention, if you actually buy it, it comes with a dvd architect, so you can lay out your own dvds. my ex got it for me about two years ago, and i still use it all the time. the only problem i have is, every year i add more to my banshee, thus making the last years footage damn near worthless haha btw, what kind of camera did you go with?

RIPPEN with window movie maker you can add music, cut clips, add fades, intro, credits.... basically drag and drop.... Quote
RIPPEN Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Posted June 6, 2006 with window movie maker you can add music, cut clips, add fades, intro, credits.... basically drag and drop.... And thats the one that should be on the laptop with windows XP?? RIPPEN Quote
dogboystoy Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 I use pinnacle studio 9. Its pretty cool except if you want some of the extras they try to get you buy the extra transitions and crap. But in reality you wont need more than what came with it. My only bitch it can be a little glitchy. but worth 100$. good luck with movie maker, i havent used it. Quote
