[Baldrick]

Virtualdub is advanced enough me.

[canadateck]

Sony Vegas

[johns0]

Virtualdub for me,easy to use and versatile and free!!.

[hrlslcbr]

Avisynth. Sometimes VirtualDubMod.

[yoda313]

Virtualdub and virtualdubmod. Can't beat the price!

I use Pinnacle Studio.

[jimmalenko]

I voted virtualdub, but I generally use it in combination with AVISynth.

[rgs_uk]

I love Vegas and VirtualDub though I wouldn't say VirtualDub was an editor.

[hrlslcbr]

But you can EDIT video with VirtualDub, so it IS an editor

[alsyed]

Sony vegas i use for menu's and transitions stuff, and for the odd home video, i spend most time at it getting it just right. But virtualdub mod and avisynth are my next best friends.

and virtualdub is an editor. heheh

Mediastudio Pro

I guess that's what was meant by "Movie Studio" in the "Ulead Video Studio/Movie Studio" selection.

I selected "Other" because I can be vaguely mysterious, too!

Now this all depends on how advanced you actually mean by "advanced", before i cast my vote .... cuz for certain values of advanced i might not even have a vote to cast if'n you see what i mean.

advanced =..............
1/ reencoding a video just with certain unwanted "credits" removed from the start and finish, perhaps at a different size
2/ redoing it with basic filters such as colour, contrast, maybe cropping off borders etc (<< limit of what could be achieved e.g. with TMPGEnc)
3/ more advanced filterage (noise reduction, etc), adding subs, maybe cutting a small section out of the middle for whatever reason
4/ replacing the soundtrack or extracting and altering (filtering, playing around with, re-encoding) the existing one
5/ hacking together a very basic anime music video or other low-level cut-up work with heavy handed and time consuming syncing that might not always work (<< limit of what you could achieve with Virtualdub, an external sound editor, and far too much time... everything else on is Premier / similar territory)
6/ a more advanced type of music video or basic backroom re-editing of a home movie, crossfades, that sort of thing, with easy and precise soundtrack syncing
7/ professional and broadcast quality processing (an NHMK AMV, or your own indie digicorder film) with good quality special FX, fades, dissolves etc
8/ full blown studio quality stuff that you'd be happy to put on celluloid, or at least a shrink wrapped dvd

hm?
personally im somewhere between 4 and 5 right now.....

Vegas - that's what got me started and hooked on video editing.

[Soopafresh]

AviSynth is so freaking powerful. One could spend years using this app and barely touch the available functions inside.

[RealStyro]

TMPGEnc - all the editing & transcoding goodness one would ever need (without paying $$$$).

I'm surprised VirtualDub is on this poll and not TMPGEnc. Having used both (and still do) I consider 'T' the more advanced of the two editors. Then again, 'T' is also commercial and 'V' is not.

Vegas , Vegas, Vegas!!

yep, it should say mediastudio.

and tmpgenc is listed... = other. .

[gadgetguy]

I usually use VirtualDub et.al. in combination with Avisynth. But I occasionally use Ulead Videostudio for some of the transitions.

[Safesurfer]

Pure Motion EditStudio, Wax 2.0, VDub, & Avisynth.

[jimbucc]

Pinnacle Liquid Edition

[cd090580]

VirtualDub and Avisynth for me

[reboot]

vdubmod, generally, then frameserve.
Vegas MS4 otherwise. It does enough for me, without the need for 5.

[jabloomf1230]

Vegas is my choice and the "hot off the pressess" Vegas 6.0 paired with DVD Architect 3 is even better. I started off using Premiere Pro, but I got curious and downloaded the demo of Vegas 5.0. After hopping back and forth on different projects between the two, I finally decided that both are versatile video editors, but Vegas just seemed more intuitive to me and hence easier to use. I do also like Virtualdub for its simplicity (and you can't beat the price).

Final Cut

[SLK001]

Avisynth to create the script, and VirtualDub to preview the results.

[MOVIEGEEK]

Windows Movie Maker is an advanced editor?!

I mostly use Ulead VideoStudio.

[Baldrick]

advanced = not just cut and join.

[jakol]

vegas baby...
and with the release of vegas 6

[TonDVC]

Bit surprising that nobody mentioned Adobe Premiere over here yet, but I see that it is on top of the poll

[voicupop]

Premiere users have remained wordless after seing/used it.
