Anyone know any decent video editing software?

I have to get a video together for the drag racing team ive been photographing over the summer but have no idea what programs are out there for use to make picture video with sound, and also have video of an interview!

Halp!

Vegas and Premiere are the two big ones. How extensive of an editing job are you looking to do here? There are basic video converters/croppers/etc. out there, but if this is a job, you'll probably want something a bit more pronounced, such as Vegas and/or Premiere. I know that my friend who makes stuff for YouTube (and else) uses Vegas.



The version of Windows Movie Maker that is available for Windows 7 doesn't allow for multiple timeline editing, which IMO makes it (almost) completely useless. Someone packaged up the last version of Windows Movie Maker that came out for Windows Vista, but sadly, while it does indeed contain multiple timeline editing, it isn't possible to save in HD video resolutions.

I never really liked VirtualDub. Never seems to go off without a hitch somewhere along the way.

Some burning software suites even come with built-in video editors now (Nero, Ashampoo Burning Suite, etc.), so that's an option too.




I'll look around and see what other freeware options are available. I don't really dabble in the video editing/creation aspect of things, so it's not really knowledge I can give off of the top of my head.

My personal preference is Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 10, I tried a few different packages and this seemed to be the best compromise between features and ease-of-use for me.

I am using Sony Vegas, I suggest you to go with it. It's one of the best video editing software.

I used Adobe Premiere for one of my classes during the semester. I thought it would be hard but, it's extremely simple to use. Much of the program is pretty much drag and drop. You can easily fine tune the way you want it just by clicking whatever you added.
