Big Fresh Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm looking to start a video series with a buddy of mine. If anyone here does any video editing, what is your software of choice? It doesn't need to be crazy powerful. And I'd prefer it to be noob-friendly. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Most of my experience is with Adobe Premiere CS, but I understand that Premiere Elements is decent as well. Sometimes you can get Elements for $50 from Best Buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Depending on what you're running, Premiere CS2 might still work, and is (legitimately) free from adobe (just Google "free adobe CS2") I've found it doesn't open on Windows 8.1 no matter what I do, however, so Elements is probably the best way to go, as Craig said. Also, once you get your feet wet, most NLE systems have the same basic layout, so once you've gotten any of them down you should be able to learn/use anything.

Big Fresh Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Damn... I do have Windows 8.1. So I guess the free option is out. But I am gonna look more into Premiere Elements. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 First impression is I can save about $40 going with Premiere Elements 11 instead of 12. Do you guys happen to know if there's a huge difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 More than likely, there isn't, especially for what you're looking to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Furthermore, the Elements line is REALLY iterative and there isn't much difference from year to year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerjeRUN Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 You should ask the people at Highspots what version of Windows Movie Maker they use 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
