Recommended video software?
 

Hey guys.
As the title says, can you guys recommend any good videosoftwares? Not too complicated...I just want to add some background music? and text so that it shows in the final video :o


Thanks in advance! ;)

Windows Movie Maker? It's definitely simple and can the two tasks you asked for.

Hmmm...another question.
What can Adobe Premier? do that Windows Movie Maker can't...? :|

NO. Do NOT use WMM. Seriously, I advise you that you must stay away from that awful program for many reasons.

Here are some.

1) it freezes, lags and doesn't do anything right
2) it was created by Microsoft

I highly recommend you on staying away from WMM and getting Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 7.0. It's a fantastic program!

He's not going to be a professional film editor. So what, it's jacked as shit. But it's free and probably installed on his computer.

You can always...sample programs though.

Yeah, I guess. But still, it could be your second alternative since it's very easy and simple to use (Sony Vegas), but if you'd go for somethiing that's free, then I think you could just put up with WMM.

Thanks Mario.
I'll take a look at your recommended software.

He simply wanted to add music and some text, why the hell do you guys recommend a 2000 dollar program like Sony Vegas?

Use Virtual DUb! Its free!

Adobe Premiere definitely is awesome... waaaay better than WMM. I have never used Sony software so I don't know what to tell you there. But Premiere is really easy to use, I think, and really easy to find.

Here's a program I uploaded for my cousin a while back... it does its job at least.

Hmm. Well, if he wanted to make just one quick video, then I think that he should use a free program, but if he wanted to use something long lasting, then yeah. Vegas would be good for that.

Virtual Dub's free?! When did that happen O_O'

eversince it was made?
