editing Software Help

[Crash]

I am currently running Pinnacle Studio 14 HD. I was wondering what software everyone else uses? I want to try something new.

I use Adobe premier elements because that's just what came with vista and I like it, but once I actually get a job I want to upgrade to the pro version.

I want to get a Mac and get Final Cut Pro but I am not sure yet.

Seems a good choice to me Crash...
Im sorta committed to PC and what not, but IF I HAD the money to start over, Id go mac and FCP.

On PC you might try some other software, adobe CS stuff is popular and what I use, Vegas seems to have a big following.

Are you using an intermediary codex (cineform)? if I didn't use one my system would be as slow as molasses..

I don't know what codex I am running. Like I said I am a mechanic by trade I just make films for fun. So if you wouldn't mind explaining what you mean?

oh boy, you have some homework !

codex are important, but deep understanding is not required..

Start here.. literally..

focus on the AVHCD video format which is what your camera records in.

after that you should have enough knowledge to ask good questions..
