video editing question

[nodtveidt]

Oh and if you pickup some porn editing jobs... just make up a name for the credits

No fair...you figured out my alternate job! My cover's blown now...

Anyone here into video editing? I want to get into it, but I don't know where or how to start. What are some good softwares or hardwares I should look into? I have both pc and mac.

 If you want to get into video editing, then get a mac+Final Cut Pro (if you're serious about this). Final Cut Pro is great, but more advance projects will require additional apps. Adobe After Effects(pro version) is a great companion to FCP. FCP will run you about $1000, AE pro about $900, and a new Mac $2000-$3000?

What if you're not serious about it and just want a neat little app to splice together some video clips?

I don't want to spend any money, but I'm interested in throwing together a quick little short that would be Turbo-related.

Some fundamental editing ability would be a must. But again, I'm not looking to buy any software (especially not something costing $1000) for a one-time use. Freeware is my friend.

Seriously, Avid is a dinosaur now.  We used Adobe Premier for a while but now it's FCP.  If you just want to slap some shit together, imovie is actually a decent choice.  Although if you don't have it pre-installed I don't know what it would cost.  If you're just doing one small project, download a trial version or something.

Fixed.

Does anyone know if iMovie comes with the newest version of the MacOS? I'll be buying a new Mac soon so I'm just curious. I can hold off on my "project" until then if it does.

[Joe Redifer]

I believe that all new Macs come with iMovie preinstalled.  I am quite the whiz at Final Cut Pro and After Effects, but iMovie confuses the hell out of me.  I can't figure it out at all!  But then again most people who know iMovie tell me that Final Cut Pro seems complicated and makes no sense to them.

Speaking of editing, has anybody seen that new Youtube Remixer? It's an EXTREMELY crippled version of Adobe Premiere, and it SUCKS.

[Joe Redifer]

A Youtube video editor?  Premiere already sucks as it is, I can't even imagine a crippled version.

[Kitsunexus]

Try it and see how crippled it is:
