Title: Video editing Programs
Post by: Latrobe on July 14, 2007, 05:42:42 AM

I'm in search of some Editing Programs for future films that I will be making. From what I've heard and seen in other films "Adobe Premiere" and "FRAPS" are two good ones, but I would like to know what other programs there are. I would like one that gives you unique camera angles (Fly By's, "God Mode" angle) also what would I need to buy/download to get Hi-Res films?

No editing program in the world can give you what you are looking for. They all have to cope with the pictures you give them via the AH2 film viewer. You can not change the camera position or angle with a video editing program.

Also, FRAPS is no editing program but a capturing tool you need to transfer your recorded AH2 flight into true films, which can then be edited by programs like Adobe Premiere.

I personally do not use Premiere, but the smaller and much more easily accessible VirtualDub, which happens to be a freeware program.

Adobe Premiere and Vegas are the two main Windows based editors.  Both have their strengths and weaknesses.  Premiere does handl other Adobe produts well.  I alwasy enjoyed the featured on either importing a merged layer PSD file or selecting what layer I want to import.  Makes doing transparent overlays very easy.

Vegas has some good stock video effects, but I prefer the layout and usage of Premiere, just a preference.

u can spend 400 bucks or more on vegas, but I would try your first couple of movies on Windows Movie Maker to get a feel for it first. Then...spend the cash.....

You will need something to convert the AH film to an avi format.  Fraps does a nice job and Windows Movie Maker is great for a simple editing tool.  The effects that you mention can be done for the most part with the AH Film Viewer.  You can check what  we have done with these tools at http://www.113thluckystrikes.com for examples.  The Fraps is not free but Movie Maker comes with XP and Vista.
