This is a page where I will review various video editing programs. The need to identify a new editing program has arishen for several reasons
1 I bought a new High Definition Camcorder and
2 Chris has shown renewed interest in making Lego Animations.
So lets start with the programs that I use.
Premiere 6.
This is the benchmark as far as I am concerned. I find it easy to use and it has a reasonable number of features.
The negatives are:-
Does not create DVDs.
Can not edit MPEG or High Definition Video from my new camcorder.
Does not read in lots of still JPEG images.
The positives are
Multiple Time line tracks.
Easy Razor tool to cut video. Other timeline tools work as you would expect.
Premiere Elements 4
The positives are
Creates robust DVDs
Renders and uploads to Youtube.
The negatives are:
I hate the user interface.
DVD renderer requires activation
Serif Movie Plus X3 (~$AU100)
The positives are
The version I downloaded when I purchased it, is actually the most uptodate.
Timeline based with Multiple tracks
It will read in multiple still images >250
The negatives are:
There does not seem to be a way to select all the items on one track from the edit point forward.
There does not seem to be a ripple delete function. That is to remove blank space from betweem two clips on the same track and then shift all tracks back by this amount.
There is too much margin around the "monitor". Actualy there is quite a bit of screen space wasted around various things plus you cant resize the various panes independantly.
