No, only Windows LIVE Movie Maker which is only compatible with Vista or 7, NOT XP. BUT it is FREE.

Hi, I plug the video and sound feed from the receiver that comes with the camera to a Sony model #VRD-MC5 DVD recorder which burns the feed right to a DVD disc. From there I can go to my computer to edit the video. Sony stopped making these recorders but I found mine on eBay used. What is really nice about this Sony recorder is the small monitor screen it has so you can see what you are recording. Hope this helps and I'd be happy to try to answer any other questions. Regards, Paul

You can use MPEG Streamclip to edit the mp4 files directly, without re-encoding. It's much more convenient than iMovie.

It's only easy if you have imovie 08, not imovie 6.There is a severe lack of cohesive documentation on how to edit movies from this camcorder. I've wasted sooo much time visiting various internet forums to find answers. Canon's support is hopeless and hard to believe they find their tech support site acceptable.

When I owned the camera you had to do to many file conversions to get editing software to open it. It was a headache. It might be easier now I'm not sure. I went from video to audio.

I have a couple of different editing software at my disposal either at home or at work. neither are high price, high quality editing. I edit my videos just minimally.

Yes. The predecessor SD950 IS movies are recorded as AVI files, which are compatible with Windows Movie Maker. The SD990 IS movies are recorded as MOV files, the Apple QuickTime format. I purchased QuickTime Pro ($29.95) to convert the MOV files to AVI files.

Unfortunately, form my experience there is no way around it during recording. However, this camera has built-in editing functionality. You can stitch the snippets together into one continuous piece. It's quite easy.Then there is also the video editing software included with the camera.

I use Windows' MovieMaker Converted into the WMV format. Which I can bring into Apple using Flip. Hope this helps

Micorosoft's Live Movie Maker (Windows 7, Vista) is free and works with .MOD files. Join the Canon FS200 Clubhttp://canonfs200.ning.com

Windows 7 Movie Maker finds the camera right away and displays the image. Movie Maker is apparently a standard part of Windows 7 Media Center. The picture is a little small and I didn't find a way to make it larger (there probably is a way), but it was fine for my purposes. Loading a "chinese" CD program on my PC made me uncomfortable.

I use Premiere Pro 2.0 with some HD encoders, and VoltaicHD to convert the footage from camera for suitable editing (also to deinterlace)

I'll check it out, I've been trying to use Windows Movie Maker, not as bad as I thought, but looking for better, thanks, Woody

Yes, this camcorder does allow basic scene editing; including scene deletion, deleting part of a scene, and dividing scenes.

No, recorded clips duration is fixed and cannot be changed, but you can stitch them together with movie maker in ms window. Quicktime needs additional video codes.

I've been using a digital camera since the beginning to take short video clips of my son for a family blog that I run. Up until recently I've used a little Sony DSC-W90 which as worked quite well for 640x480. I just picked up a FZ28 and the video quality is fairly decent but beware that it records in Quicktime which means you can't directly use the video in the convenient Windows Movie Maker. My biggest disappointment so far with the movie mode on the FZ28 is the muddy sound quality -- my little DSC-W90 beats it hands down for that. Note also that video hosting sites are just starting to offer HD uploads so you may not get great HD hosting in the short term. Pros: 720P and WVGA (848x480) video modes, zoom while filming Cons: Quicktime format not editable in Windows Movie Maker, muddy sound quality
