Best Editing program

[JamesB69]

please no wars, but can i get some opinions on video editing programs?

I have almost decided on Premeir, but can be swayed.

best ?

Avid Media Composer Adrenaline is right up there as the best -- if your budget is under $150,000 though ....



best under 2000$ is Vegas 4.0



ask that question Here also

I was a Premeire guy for years, but Vegas 4 has won me over.

Very easy to use, good help files, and the realtime preview is a godsend.

I only wish it could use Premiere & After Effect plugins!!

After Effect plugins are coming real soon , you already can frame serve out and in and use v-dub filters .

and boris red new version will work as a plug in within vegas .. very strong support ..

wow, so definitely not any ulead or pinnacle stuff then?

[BJ_M]

ulead makes some great products i understand though ive never used any .. more consummer type (not saying thats bad)

pinnacle high end products ive used/owned and would not recommend to anyone

fcp has only 2 channels of audio and no real time preview .. new version of fcp has some really really good features .. btw , you DO realize that is a mac only program ?

AvidExpress and Symphony are like apples and grapefruit --

avid express is limited in input file types, no real time preview (neither does premiere unless you have hardware rendering), not resolution ind. , limited effects , but real strong in editing features and EDL , pretty good for match back to film .. what vegas lacks (as well as sync flags and 422 control)

otherwise vegas rocks the house ..

so is my limited budget personally i only own premiere the others I have worked on briefly for my student movies. I got a question by the way...how do u make sub titles for movies? Is there a plugin for premiere?

[BJ_M]

u use a product like title factory or such ... i dont know of any plug ins - plus subtitles are seperate bmp 's anyway , not part of the video stream --

DTS has a subtitle projection system for movie theatres that overlays subtitles On the film right at the screen - so you dont need different prints for different countries ..

While I personally use (and love) Premiere, I think Vegas Video has achieved equal respect in the community. It has *almost* achieved equal support. (There are more third party books written about Adobe products than any other line, even including MS stuff).

If you like and have other Adobe products (Photoshop, Illustrator, AE) and/or are going to buy them (including the upcoming Adobe Encore) Premiere is a truly logical choice. Adobe has made their products consistently among the line and even though other products do have support there is nothing like moving among the Adobe product line.

If you don't own any other Adobe products I would definitely consider Vegas -- particularly if you can afford the AC3 plugin for it.
