Avid Xpress DV vs Final Cut Express HD?
350840
Hi again!\n\nI have had training on avid DV and I use final Cut daily. I think where you are used to using Avid and you like it, you might as well stick with it, provided you can afford it. That being said I prefer Final Cut Pro, because it has a very nice user interface that allows me to work in several different ways (Like dragging clips around on the time line and right into the timeline from the bin with out trimming first.)\n\nI also think that Final Cut has great features like color correction and special effects built right into the program in a very easy to use interface. In my training class with Avid I did not see that same type of power in an easy to use format. It might be there but I never saw it.\n\nTo be perfectly honest, with music videos it isn't going to matter what you cut with. You will need to do some post and effects with adobe after effects and/or Motion 2. I would look at the least expensive solution that gets you either after effects or motion or both. (That is my opinion of course but if I could get imovie with motion 2 I could make some pretty neat stuff!)\n\nTalk to you soon,\nTony\nPS if you want to ask anything directly feel free to contact me.

Final Cut Pro is a great editing system, but it is purely for Mac.  In my opinion, Final Cut is the best for Macs and Adobe Premier Pro is the best for PCs.  They are both powerful software packages.

in modern equipment.....no they are both compatible.  like someone said earlier stay away from house brands......especially with DVD media.  the stored information is much more dense so the quality is more important than with a blank CD.  their are even free utilities that read the quality of the blank media. i would stay with maxell, or verbatim. the link below is to a site that's dedicated to many PC issues, especially DVD burning and quality issues.  i highly recommend you check it out.

I use VSO software Divx toDVD. it's a free trial, but it's not hard to get a registration code.

Most definately adobe premiere, it can do pretty much anything and can turn out broadcast quality video, its not cheap and you'll ideally need a fast computer with a big either internal or external drive but its the daddy by far.

Try Honest Technology Video Patrol for just at $50.  If you're willing to spend another $40 for $93 you can get the best in Adobe Premiere Elements V2.0.  You cant get much in a program you're looking for without paying the price worthy of it.  But for what Adobe Premier does its at a very good price.  Most at the same equivalant like Sony ACID cost $130-$150 depending on where you can find it.  Look around but I prefer that you try and spend atleast $100 in order to get a good program.  Anything less you'll be spending more money to replace the horrible program you just purchased.  Hope that helps.  Try this site  http://www.tigerdirect.com

If you are using Mac, then I heard that Final Cut Pro was one of the best, as alot of the professionals are using that. Not sure about how easy the software is to use, but it can't be that hard as it doesn't require programming.\n\nIf you are using Windows, I would recommend Adobe Premiere. Easy to use, if you have used any of the Adobe family programs. I use Premiere because it is easy, and so far it beats using the free Windows Movie Maker.

The problem with DV for Slow motion is it only records 30 frames a second. I would think for something like analyzing a swing you would want a faster frame rate than that (120 frames per second) by shooting the video that fast, when you play it back at 30 frames per second you would have a nice clean image to study without a lot of motion blur.\n\nPanasonic makes a High Definition camera that can do this, but it is expensive.\n\nIf you just want to look at regular video slow motion, Adobe Premiere has that capability (Final Cut Pro on the Mac) and I believe the consumer version of both those programs also have that capability. You also might try Vegas video from Sony, or Pinnacle.\n\nTony

Duo Core superior, but both have \n\nAs far as i can see, u don't need Win XP pro, Media Centre 2005 is great and sure u'r toshiba has external buttons 4 play, if u can upgrade T2300 to T2400 for a few bucks extra , i think the toshiba's good\n\n- u'r media centre stuff got me into viewing product\ncorrection, T2300 just fine\nproduct - great

yeah i would recommend incrase the ram as much as possible since not worth upgrading the cpu/motherboard\nthis show help in video editting. \ni use 1.5gb of ram and a 2.8ghz cpu and still find a bit slow when doing non digital as well.

You can copy and paste in Quicktime Pro.  Iti'll work fine unless the movies have different frame sizes at which point the smaller movie will not fill the "canvas".  QT Pro is $30, but it's worth it, for me at least.  AV out of sync is common with DV.  I always use my Canopus D/A converter to sync the audio and video on capture.
