Fed up with Cyberlink Powerdirector - Can you help me choose something else

[gayclarke]

Fed up of all the bugs in Cyberlink Powerdirector 6.

Would like to choose another product with similar features.

Can anyone suggest something suitable for a newbie but with plenty of features without breaking the bank?

Root and chapter menus would be good. Cyberlink only had 1 menu which I found a bit tiresome.

I do not know how big is your bank account, but check DVD Lab Pro. It is not cheep, but lots of options.

Thanks for the replies. Went for Magix Movie Edit Pro - Now wait for the dumb newbie questions <grin>

Please excuse obvious ignorance when it comes to software and computers, but any advice/assistance would be appreciated.
Having just purchased a camcorder and wanting to edit movies for burning to DVD I am looking for something that is simple and yet effective.
Magix Pro 12 was suggested however with very little computer skills I really would like to know if this software is easy to use and can produce a reasonable product.
I simply want to download footage, intersperse it with still photos and banner pages (introducing new topic).
I look forward to your response

For ease of use, try Adobe Premiere Elements. There's plenty of user support and tutorials.
