• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Pinnacle Studio and Vegas

I do all my capturing in Pinnacle.... editing in Vegas....

A big problem with Pinnacle, is how they leave out secondary video tracks so you are left with linear editing.... which normally isn't too terrible unless you are following an audio track. It's obvious they want you to move up to other products (pay more) to get that feature.

I used Liquid and didn't like it. I was a big fan of Premier in the late 90's but I've since moved from Premier to Studio and now Vegas. With anything, it all comes down to how much you can spend.

We use Avid for everything at the station(tv) and I have AvidDV Free... good for quick edits and migrating onto other Avids... but is good for hard cuts only... no effects.. at least as I was told by the Avid reps... but it WAS free.

I don't do video editing, but I have heard a few applications mentioned to me the times I had asked. I only have one recommendation for PC's since I don't use them much anymore. Links are below

I wish I knew more PC editing programs, because I'm sure that's what you are using. But who knows, maybe Apple's Pro Software line will entice a few more away from the \"dark side\" :D

I use iMovie on the Mac to edit my videos....very easy software to figure out. I haven't graduated to Final Cut yet but have heard a lot of good things about it. Macs really seem to be the way to go for video editing - and it's something worth looking into for those who are frustrated with steep learning curves, having to download special patches, etc.

I've also heard lots of good things about the iDVD software and how easy it is to burn a DVD with it....problem is though you need an internal burner to be able to use it.
