    hi all,

    i have NO experience in digital video editing, but my mate has a digital camcorder that i can borrow whenever i want. i'd like to start messing about with editing to practice for something i have planned during the summer.

    i'm fairly pc savvy - have a decent pc and know photoshop/macromedia studio mx/solidworks well enough. what software would you recommend i play about with?

    any help appreciated...
    dave

    Audobe audition is pro. You can also use windows movie maker if you havent got the money, its simple but crap. Still it will do the job.

    Yes, buy Adobe Audition is an audio editing. And he clearly said Digital Video Editing. It really depends on the money you are willing to spend,

    Pinnacle Pro Edition (Recently bought by Avid) is fairly cheap and a great DV package.
    Avid DV Express is around €700 it's not as user friendly, but if you're thinking of a career in editing, Avid is currently the industry standard.

    It allows you to load a video track, so you can tweak the audio and clearly see how it plays with the video. Im sure you know though..

    Yes, but it's primarily an audio editor. You can load video into pretty m uch any Audio Tool, Pro-tools for example.

    You can get premier elements 3 for about €130. If you like heart ache and have XP then you can download microsoft movie maker 2 - which when dealing with projects of 4 minutes and longer has a tendancy to crash almost every session. On a plus for mm2 - it's free (as long as you've got xp), is quiet easy to use, and has some nice effects - but is extremely limited.
