| 571360 | 2007-07-23 03:25:00 | I will edit the video footage and import the audio tracks from iTunes into iMovie then burn in iDVD. Winmacguy, my daughter was working on Mac last year at school with iMovie and iTunes she loved it compared to using Premiere on her home PC. She was also using I think it was Garage Band to create extra audio for the FairGo TV ad awards. The school also got a few Mac computers running Final Cut but I did not see how that went. They did some footage with the school Canon cameras and the quality was crap and did the rest of the filming on my Sony PC350 much better quality but i would prefer a new HiDef camera. |

| 571361 | 2007-07-23 05:06:00 | That is correct Bantu, she would have been using Garageband to create the additional audio loops for iMovie, and, iMovie would definitely be easier to use than Adobe Premier although from what I gather Adobe have improved Premier and made it easier to use in the recent versions. Apple has recently released Final Cut Studio 2 which is the professional end of HD video editing - the sort of stuff that TV stations use in the US and I think the BBC uses it. |

| 571362 | 2007-07-23 05:45:00 | Premiere Elements would be more inline with the Mac offering, Anyone can use it, and have pretty good results even if by mistake. The full Premiere is near impossible to use without a fair bit of background knowledge and/or training. I wouldn't point school children at it unless they were there specifically to learn about Premiere and professional editing. |

| 571363 | 2007-07-23 05:51:00 | My apologies, when I was talking about Premier I was actually meaning Premier Elements which would be the not quite as easy equivalent to iMovie. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 571364 | 2007-07-23 07:27:00 | My daughter is 13 and can handle Premier Pro and Elements quite well at home. She used Pinnacle Studio for a couple of years and learned Adobe with the use of tutorials and self taught stuff. We are in a Movie Makers club so she gets a lot out of that also. She did however like iMovie on the Mac. Her new school uses PC's so I am not sure what Video editing suites they have there. |

Awesome, Wish I had that sort of back ground, I'd be making killer stuff now. |

| 571368 | 2007-07-23 19:08:00 | Winmacguy, no, she never got that opportunity, the school got Final Cut too late in her time at that school for her to do anything on that. She has been along to 3D animation courses in school holiday programs for the past couple of years as well so she is getting to learn computers fairly well, although she has been on a computer since she was a baby:-). A luckier generation than mine maybe. As part of the Movie maker club we went along to a long evening presentation last year for demonstration of Adobe Creative Suite Production CS2. The bloke did that on an Intel Mac (I think thats what they get called) which was fairly cool. |

If you live in Auckland, Media Design School runs holiday programs for graphic design and DV editing for students which is good if your kids are looking for study and subject options when they leave school. |
