can anyone recommend me a user friendly, windows-based software that is fast and has great functionality? i like final cut, sadly it's mac-only... vj-ing is secondary... i mainly need it for intuitively editing found media video clips... haven't tried premiere cs3 yet... any good? |

i use Adobe Premiere Pro professionally. i really like it and it seems to be very much much like Final Cut Pro. in fact i think its Adobe's answer to Final Cut. i've actually got a lot more experiance with Premiere than Final Cut, so yeah i say get it. |

okay i'll give it a spin... last premiere i had was 6.5 which didn't even have a proper preview function and a terrible GUI.... while Final Cut had this nice way of non destructively handling clips... |

if you want 5 times the control go for after effects, but it'll take you a while longer to get your head around. i'd like to know of some real time vj software. could be fun. |

the only thing i like about premeire is the snap too thingy when you drag and drop video parts, its fast... after effects works in a different way,you make layers and layers and layers and layers ...ect ect ect...premiere if i remember, you only have what? 3 or 4 tracks?? and you have to line it all up on those tracks and crossfade between them . im talking from 3 or 4 years back. ive never needed to upgrade using 3ds max and after effects. seems like all i'll need for a while. tho i miss lightwaves dynamics. blah blah blah. |

me guesses that after effects is pretty much the shit for 2D animation once you get the hang of it? hmm to me the most important thing right now would be nice controls over the very basic editing functions... a kind of sampler-like approach for video clips would be awesome... guess something like that could be found in vj-software... don't know what to look for actually 8/ |

premeire is still very high quality " if you do it right and choose the right settings ect.) im just thinking along the lines of control and options. if you want to make wedding movies and things like that get premiere. if you wanna make ambient multi layered visual art get after effects. my friend made the mistake .and got stuck into premiere just to try out video on his PC, then when he tried to come out and upgrade to AE he found it very hard and stayed with premiere. because the UI(user interface) is quite different even tho the terminology is kinda the same. I would suggest spend a few more hours ...i'm literally talking 2 0r 3 hours on the first night and the next and do things in a seriously pro way. but hey you can use both ....premeire for simple stuff and then AE when you wanna go deeper. all the help files are there. try it before you buy. but like i say im from the past maybe 2 oe 3 years back. things must have changed , there must be thousands of progs out there now. good luck. |

hmm thanks! hah, what comes to mind when you say try before buy... a fellow student actually phoned adobe support to ask if they would mind if he would use warez serialed adobe products... the lady on the phone told him they wouldn't see it as a problem at all as long as it's not used commercially... nice! |
