Power Hedgehog Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Does anyone know of any good programs for editing videos, other than Windows Movie Maker, because it crashed on me every time I try to make a movie from captured video files. When I searched google, but everyone keeps saying that Windows Movie Maker is the best one, but I can't get it to not crash on me. So are there any better programs out there. Thanks.

Slingerland Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Vegas 6.0 is what I use. It's pretty expensive, but...uh...you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cstyler Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Camtasia studio is a good one, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEchidna Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Video editing programs, not video capturing programs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cstyler Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I have edited video with Camtasia for a long time o_O But Vegas is better ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEchidna Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Are we talking about the same program? I'm thinking of the kind that records video off your screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USC Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Post-production After the presentation has been captured, the presenter is able to revise it by cutting and/or pasting different parts, as needed. In addition, the presenter is also able to overlay their voice, as well as sound effects or music onto the presentation. Camtasia allows audio recording while screen-capturing is in progress, so the presenter can narrate the demonstration as it is carried out. Most presenters, however, prefer to wait until they have finished the screen-capture, and then record the narration from a script as the application is playing back the recorded capture. It's not unusual for a program to be able to do multiple things. Anyway, I use Ulead Video Studios, as it came with some VHS-to-computer equipment I bought. I don't remember how much it cost, but the whole package was pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techokami Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I use Camtasia Studio. I also got a copy of Pinnacle Studio with my TV capture card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazeHedgehog Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Decent: Windows Movie Maker (Free) Okay: Camtasia Studio ($179.99 ) Great: Sony Vegas, Adobe Premier ($500+ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I use VirtualDub. It's quite hard to get used to, but it works nicely. There's also a version called VirtualDubMod, which has more stuff. Just search for it, it's free. Decent: Windows Movie Maker (Free) Decent? You gotta be joking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Hedgehog Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Decent: Windows Movie Maker (Free) Windows Movie Maker crashes every time I try to use it, and thats why I asked of programs other than that. Vegas seemed to be working fine though. I've never heard of VirtualDub, but I'll look into it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeHedgehog Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Decent? You gotta be joking... No, I'm really not. You can organize multiple clips in an easy-to-use interface, overlay your own music, and add transitions between clips. That's a hell of a lot more than you can say for VirtualDub. I use WMM more often than not to do the videos I post on Moddb for TFH because I don't feel like opening Vegas (takes too long). Power Hedgehog: Yeah, sorry to bring it up again. Even though you seem to like Vegas, maybe there was a way to re-install WMM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yeah, well, for starting on video-editing, not bad =\ Still, it can become a pain as time passes. Aside from a 'format & reinstall' method, I think you can reinstall WMM with the Control Panel applet 'Add or Remove Programs'. There's an option called 'Add or remove Windows Components'. It'll ask for the installation CD. You can also add stuff like the games, or accessories like Paint and Wordpad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorney Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 would you say sony vegas or adobe after effects? i've been looking into this myself recently, but i must say the interface on after effects isn't the most user friendly for those trying to get to grips with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeHedgehog Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 would you say sony vegas or adobe after effects? i've been looking into this myself recently, but i must say the interface on after effects isn't the most user friendly for those trying to get to grips with it Neither was Vegas at first. It took a lot of poking around for me to figure out how to do certain effects, but once I did, I could do some . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
