Knights Reborn

What do you use and why? Curious as what to expand to.

I either use Vegas pro or Cineform studio for GoPro Hero 3
Has good FPS for making slow motion clips

I use google search and proceed to dawn my pirate hat

...iMovie...seriously...I've only ever made 2 videos though lol

Sony Vegas Pro, Windows Movie Maker, Pinnacle Studio w/ Hollywood effects, iMovie, Final cut pro, Audacity, and a few FLV converters/download programs.

I guess I'm going to be the only one - but I use Adobe After Effects. Extremely powerful video editing software. I can literally do anything I want inside my artistic ability, it has more freedom than SVP. Speaking of SVP, I will have to go off other peoples' experiences because I've never used it. So one thing you should note is that AAE has a very very steep learning curve. However with this learning curve comes, as I mentioned, freedom and POWER. So what does one man do with all of that power? Anything he wants. AAE has thousands of plugins, compatibility features, and flexibility.

Senbou uses SVP as avidly as I use AAE, and I think he can attest to my statements (maybe) because he's used AAE before. I think most people wussy out of using AAE and go back to SVP because it's easier to use. I have no idea, mainly because I don't keep up with it.

Tutorials exist for both, there's a lot of internet help for both applications.

Windows movie make, photoshop, premiere, affter affects. Nuff said

Bc the pirates created the perfect and ideal society... right?

I will do some clarifying for John, because I forgot about Adobe Premiere Elements.

It's actually a really nice little video editing application. It's like Windows Movie Maker on steroids, and 3x more efficient. I used to use it in conjunction with AAE. This was because the older versions of AAE didn't provide audio playback when viewing or pre-rendering a sample... so I'd do all the heavy effect editing in AAE and import it in APE.

If you're looking for generic video editing that comes with a LOT of unique and super-great features, APE is an excellent application. It's a lot more powerful than Windows Movie Maker and iMovie, and also has a very high compatibility list. It even has light keying, which unfortunately is predefined. However, if you're working with greenscreens or bluescreens and you're light keying, you shouldn't be falling back to APE as your main source of editing.

Photoshop is an interesting choice for video editing, John... I don't know why you'd ever use it unless you're making animations. And even then, if you're going to use it for video editing, you should infinitely just stick with AAE... because it can do everything (and more) that PS can do, and ten times better.

I have used AAE and APE, Takes a while to learn, i didnt use them much as it wasnt on my computer.

^This along with after effects if Pinnacle can't do so easily what I like.
