Camcorders forum: Which one is the best video editing software

I like 2 programs for their simplicity and ability.

Cyberlink PowerDirector is what I use for quicky jobs even though it has a lot of built in features. You can even download a trail version at cyberlink.com

I also use Pinnacle Studio for more intensive editing. Still easy to use though. They just came out with version 11 that is much more stable than earlier versions and even comes with a green screen in the box! Lots of plug ins available too (for a price).

The tops.

Sony just released a new version of its Vegas Studio software.

The JVC camcorder uses the MOV. format and they must be converted in order to use in video editing software. I'm using AVS Video Converter 6 and it converts the file to several different formats to your liking.I hope this helps. I wrestled with this issue for several hours before figuring it out. Good luck.

Vegas seems like nice software, but it does have a pretty heavy learning curve.

Sometimes I find the machine has an error or issue. Testing on another machine usually tells us this answer.

I use AVS video software and find it very good, it can convert to any mode U want. U have to buy it if U cannot find the registration numbers.
I use nothing else. http://www.avs.com called AVS video converter

Hello

Here is another thread where people share opinions about the AVS converter.

I have try it myself among with other video converters. Pretty simple to use, but It supports advanced formats such as H.264, MP4, SWF or WMV and runs under Windows XP/2003/Vista.

Here is an article talking about video encoders reffering to YouTube for example. A few video samples are loaded as a test: http://www.thehdstandard.com/encoding-solution/

See me offline if you need more information about this.

my favorite, would most likely be Sony Vegas 8 because it has so many options to choose from, and at the same time, it is not to difficult to learn, and once you get the hang of it, you can make astonishing videos.

I use the following software:
Sony Vegas
CyberLink PowerDirector
TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress
Aieesoft AVCHD Converter
Aieesoft MTS Converter

I mostly use TMPGEnc and the Aieesoft software for the minimal conversion/editing stuff.
