Good day all,
I want to toss up a question and hear some opinions on video editing software.
I am in the process of major PC upgrading for 2009, and want to move towards Vista 64 but currently have XP Pro. I just put together a powerful Quad 2.66 Ghz PC with 4 GB RAM and 3 TB (twin 1,500 GB SATA) of hard-drive space so the Vista 64 running on it is not an issue.
I like Adobe Premiere as I used a much older Premiere 6.5 but CS3 (or even CS4) looks like a good candidate. At $799 its pricey, and ONLY does the video editing, not much else.
I have seen Son'y Vegas Pro 8, and at about $500 you get the video editing capeability but with DVD authoring, sound editing, and other features in a "bundle". This option would take care of 3 "features" where as CS4 from Premiere would only take care of one (video) at a higher cost.
Also, I have not messed around with Vegas Pro, and wondering if anyone here can compare the pro's and con's of the two?
I have heard of other editors out there, such as Edius and Pinnacle, but I am not familiar with them ...
... Any input on these will be appreciated.
