Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on video editing software. I've been using Windows Movie Maker and the amount of time it takes to get a video captured from my camera, the corresponding wmv file to be created, the actual editing time (which isn't bad, really) and then the time to convert the edited file to a finished movie file is really discouraging me from working on any home movies. For example, today I had a 28 minute movie to save to the computer. It took 28 minutes to capture the movie, then 60 minutes to convert that to a wmv file for editing, about 2 minutes for me to chop the unwanted bits out, and another 67 minutes to save the finished product to another wmv file. Answers consisting of "use a mac" aren't going to be helpful, I'm not changing my computer, just hoping to find better software. It could be my computer is getting old, or the video camera is old and requires more time to convert the files (it uses mini dv tapes and a firewire connection), but I'm hoping there's just better software out there.
Thanks!
