darkzar99 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Does anyone know of a good Video Editing program (besides pinnacle or adobe premiere) for windows? I would prefer that it have 64-bit support and even better if it was open source. Oh, btw it has to be able to capture from a DV Camera also since thats where i will get the video from I used to use pinnacle but i gave up on it because it would always freeze up my computer and when i would burn dvds with it, it would just crap out so i said forget it, and when i open adobe premiere on my computer it crashes and the entire computer shuts off and restarts So 64-bit open source dv editor, is there such thing?

stingwray Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Everybody raves about Sony Vegas 6.0 on this forum. Plus I don't there are any decent video editing programs that are open source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickarse Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 http://www.jahshaka.org/ is a open source video editing software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 The problem with open source video editing software is it’s not stable enough for professional use, so I would avoided it if you can afford good commercial software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickarse Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I didnt know he had a budget of hundreds of dollars... Vegas 6 is about $450-$500 alone. There's Ulead VideoStudio for cheap, check here http://video-editing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ I don't know how much you want to spend but Vegas 6 is awesome. There's Apple Final Cut which is also really good but $400. Avid Express DV is $500, Pro is around $1700. Ulead Megastudio is around the same pricing.

theslayer Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 sony vagas for the win its only expensive if you dont know the er.. right shops to buy it from. as far as 64 bit support no as far as i know is 32 bit code realy doesnt mater there will be no performance increase. give up with this 64 bit crazyness untill evryone take it up, drivers are limited for hardware. its till not worth it yet. Now dual core or quad core now were talking :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkzar99 Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 well i do have a dual core, but i only run 32-bit windows right now and all of my programs are 32-bit so i don't plan on switching over right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingwray Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 give up with this 64 bit crazyness untill evryone take it up, drivers are limited for hardware. its till not worth it yet. Now dual core or quad core now were talking Razz actually its mainly windows that isn't great with 64-bit drivers, and only then it tends to be peripherals with the main hardware support mostly. Linux 64-bit versions run very well I find with nearly all drivers available in 32-bit linux now with 64-bit sisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metatron Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 If you have a lot of money to spend then you should go with some of the products from Avid as it’s the industry standard and Avid Xpress Pro is just as good as Sony Vegas but if you want to buy their hardware then it’s going to be expensive, so Sony Vegas is still the best out the box solution.
