hi guys
Are there any quality free or inexpensive editing programs out there that will enable me to edit dv avi's but with some of teh following features?
essentially, i need to be able to:
effect levels and saturation to selective parts of each video file (ie not just whole file)
add opening titles
make cuts
then output as mpeg in preparation for becoming a dvd
i aks since i hate using video 10 which is tool sluggish and keeps crashing!
ideally i'd love tmpg to have something like pinnacle i guess but i dont think they do
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

devdev, bear in mind with Vegas Movie Studio (even the Platinum version) that your mpeg2 encoding options are severely crippled (basically all you have is a 3-tier "Fair"/"Good"/"Best" quality option).
This may be fine for you, but if you want more manual control over your output, I suggest take a look at Magix Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus. You can order it for $59 from amazon (make sure to get the boxed version!). It uses the Mainconcept mpeg2 encoder and has full manual controls, plus is a highly-featured editing suite incl. titler etc.
There are no viable free options, unfortunately. -
ive downloaded movie edit pro and it looks the ticket but the only think i cant seem to do it adjust portions of a video for say brightness rather than just adjusting the whole video. can it do this?

To brighten part of a video, without changing all of it, your options are to:
1) Split the clip with the dark sequence, isolating the part you want to lighten, and apply the filter or effect to that section,
or
2) Find or buy a software product that provides "key-framing" so that you can apply gradual increments and changes to a particular clip.
There might be some freeware that does 2, but the trouble of integrating it to other ware for your overall project, plus the quality loss of double-recoding to get to your final file, are more of a bother. Furthermore, I am not aware of any freeware that allows application of more than one filter or effect to a given sequence. Thus, you can change brightness, gain, saturation, or color balance, but not a combination thereof, without processing and exporting multiple times. Folks more adept at freeware may have a more refined opinion. I find it more simple to fork out a few $ and get an all-in-one product.
