Movie Maker, Pinnacle or Adobe

TheDuke

Hi guys,

it's been a while since I was here last.

I have mucked arround with the MS Movie Maker but although most of the out-of-the box effects were very good overall the package was very limited (unless you have perfect sound recording from the shot).

I moved to Pinnacle now and it does give more options and is quite good, it still feels a little homey.

My company are looking to produce a video for next years award ceremony and I jumped at the chance of doing it... still got plenty of time to prepare for it too...

The requirements are relatively standard (indeed Pinnacle would do it) but I want it to be as professional as it can be.

Should I move to Adobe. I tried to look at it some time back but I just couldn't get anything to work... looking back it was probably my stupidity.

Or is there another software package that I should be looking at?

If I can do it through the company luckily my budget will be a little healthier.

Sorry if my questions seem primitive but I am only just getting in to this using basic (and most importantly affordable) home equipment.

Thanks,

Phillip

It'd probably be better to post in Audio Visual Editing, but I'd go with Pinnacle.
