hey ho happy campers!! just wondering those who edit their own videos and such, what software do you use?

I'm a complete noob at trying this but have been landed with all the video from my sisters wedding to string together. So any helpful advise would be welcomed.

We use Avid at work, and there is even a free version - though limited in what it can do. But Premiere and Pinnacle is what most of the guys use at home.

Be warned that Avid can be fairly fussy about what hardware you run - we can't get support unless we buy an Avid certified HP workstation, I wouldn't expect the free version to be any better in that regard.

I'll second Vegas, easy to use, and relatively small for a program.

Easy to get hold of too if you know how.. :wink:

How much was the Platinum Smitty?

We need a second editing suite to handle our workload, some of the stuff we do is pretty basic editing - probably gonna be a while before we get our new Avid + HP + 2.5TB NS... :(

Be nice if there was something that wasn't too fussy on hardware that could do a bit...
