| 315813 | 2005-01-20 10:32:00 | hmmm.....I have just been looking into what sort of program imovie has develped into over the last few years,still seems to be a take-u-by-the-hand from start to finish type of program,but without the ability to verify it by using it that observation is near useless. The product I settled on for my use is Ulead Media Studio Pro 7.0, Its a fully featured suite (incoperating far more then i can make use of) but is most probally above the capabilities of someone used to a "wizard" type interface (as in you turn it on and nothing happens,there is no "press here to start making your movie" sign,or simplifed layout) |

| 315814 | 2005-01-20 10:44:00 | Thanks Metla. Will have a look at Ulead. | berryb (99) | ||
| 315815 | 2005-01-20 10:50:00 | Right,Sorry for 3 posts in a row,But last time i done an addition via the post edit button the 15 minute timeframe finished as i was typing and the new entry was lost....besides, It increases my post count and we all know how important that is. This is the ulead page that provides a pretty detailed overiew of the product I mentioned as well as a link to a trial version. www.ulead.com But going back to the point i mentioned before, Someone who has only used basic Home user packages such as imovie maybe a little lost, And this program while not as expensive as some is still a fair whack to waste if its not to be used. There are many simplistic home user programs on par with imovie, But i doubt a mac fan would be happy with any of them, Mostly because they aren't in the mac style,and because they aren't running on a mac.... This site gives a breif overview of some populer programs on both platforms, www.manifest-tech.com If you click the link on that page for the full versions it shows screenshots of the various apps,imovie is under the consumer section, and its easy to see the similarities between it and the Windows programs dang,Didnt get my 3 in a row afterall..... :help: |

| 315816 | 2005-01-20 11:37:00 | This Mac user may have tried Final Cut Pro, I hear that's a darn fine application. | agent (30) | ||
| 315817 | 2005-01-20 11:51:00 | True,I did make an assumption or 2, But going by the price of Final Cut Pro its unlikely to be seen outside of professional work spaces. Sure looks sweet though |

| 315818 | 2005-01-20 19:07:00 | Final Cut Pro is an excellent program (although I personally don't like it) for Mac, and it can be purchased at academic prices for schools. I have found that Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 is very similar in layout and function to Final Cut Pro, and would be the PC alternative. The only problem is the cost: www.educomp.co.nz Maybe Premiere Elements would do the job just as well, but I have never tried it myself. |

| 315819 | 2005-01-21 09:17:00 | Thank you all. Some good info here. Now all I need is some time to do some investigating. | berryb (99) | ||
| 315820 | 2005-01-21 17:42:00 | I use a brilliant program called Sony vegas, but it might be a little bit too advance for children :p | Adam678 (6880) | ||
| 315821 | 2005-01-21 18:54:00 | I second the recommendation for Sony Vegas - I used an older version (Sonic Foundry Vegas Video 4.0) to edit a video for a course I did a while ago, and it was very easy to use and provided very professional results. More features than you could ever want. | somebody (208) | ||
