Best all in one

[Hardcoreruss]

Evening all,

I have been out of the loop for a while and have lost track on what is the best piece of software.

I have 3 avis which I would like to strip certain scenes from, intersplice them, overlay an audio track and chuck in some text panels.

Whats the best (and simplest) at the moment.

Thanks,

Russell

I would do that in Adobe Premiere 6.5 or CS3.
Or FCP if on a Mac.

It might be possible in something like VirtualDub, but it would surely be more work than Premiere.

My Smurf, long time Sir.

Do you have a link to CS3? I always found Premiere a bit too hardcore!

CS3 = Adobe's "Creative Suite 3"
So Premiere CS3, my current version (still have 6.5 because it's faster).
CS4 is current version.

Premiere isn't too bad.

Those guides I think cover everything you've asked to do.
Your project is something that would take maybe half a day, pretty basic and straight-forward project.

Thank you Lord.

Time to get the CC out and stump out for Mr Premiere.

Take it easy.
