what do you use for your editing?

i just started wanting to learn these video editing and i cant seem to find a good editor that will let me cut and piece all the vids together and what not any help for a noob editor would be great :)

 

Try windows movie maker.
Then if you really like it, try sony vegas( I think it's called) or something.

 

Vegas is for pros... newbs are best off with WMM :)

 

Heh, then I need Vegas, not really, not worth the money...

 

i have used video editing before just not this much

i know alot

some programming

HTML,PHP

im sure if i sat there for liek 20 min id get it just need some tips :)

 

PM me if you would like some advice on Vegas... *Wink wink, nudge nudge*

 

WMM is for basic video editing while Vegas and Adobe Premiere Pro is a very proffensional and a very good quality video editor.

 

Since your a beginner, I suggest using Windows Movie Maker. It's easy to use, has some decent effects and transitions and...if you have a PC... it's free!

The more confident you get at making movies, you can upgrade to a more professional program like Sony Vegas, or Adobe Premier..but you have to buy those programs and some of them can get pretty pricey... unless your willing to *cough*illegally*cough* download them...

If you need any help using Movie Maker, just PM me. I'm always willling to lend a helping hand to fellow AMV makers. ^^

 

Yes *cough* very *cough**cough* illegaly *cough* downloading it! *coughs to death*

 

to the above posts does dogs bark? solve that and thats the answer to what my stuff comes from :D

i have PS with image ready with no trial

and if you wanna help i prefer if we could use some IM way like MSN or yahoo or AIM

 

If you need help, ask for it in the AMV Help Topic in the Creativity Corner.

WMM is good for beginners. Once you've got a firm grip of the basics, you can choose to move unto other advanced programs if you want.

 

If you're a newbie, I highly suggest that at this point you stick to Windows Movie Maker. After you become relatively good, try to make the transition to a better program. I personally use Sony Vegas for everything I edit. It's so extensive though; I've had Vegas 6.0 for close to two years now and I still don't know everything about the program. I don't suggest using it if you're not willing to spend a lot a time with the program, because you'll just be lost.

 

^what every1 said.

However, one thing, Adobe Premiere is nono. Well I have 2.0 and it's alright but when you're testing your video, quality is really bad, once it's refined though, it's great.

 

Windows Movie Maker...

That's what I use sometimes. I use Vegas more often, but WMM is good too if you're just starting out. ;)

 

thank you all for your help

 

Exactly what I would say.

WMM is very easy to use, though limitied it teaches you the basics. Then if your willing to invest in making better videos which as more options, then get a program like Vegas or Premiere.

Axel, Adobe Premiere is pretty much the best video editting software you can get. Premiere Elements is perfect for making AMV's and is rather cheap for under $100. Or for the version with more options Premiere Pro, which is much higher, but really elements is the better choice. If Premiere worked on my laptop I would be using it. But Vegas is pretty much just as good, though it's masking options aren't as good.

Like DS said, it has a steep learning curve, even with a years experience with WMM, chaning to Vegas was hard, so many options and never sure where to begin. But you will learn, and doing the basic's for me is easy now.
