(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Help i am after some advice please for my son. he's 14 and wants to start making some montages, so i dug my old hauppage usb pvr2 unit out of the garage bought some rca splitters and got him all set up to now record an analogue signal ( am not buying any hd capture units in case its just a 5 minute whim ) anyways he has recorded his first movie at 12mb a second so the quality is pretty good, now the help i need is what software would be suitable for him to do his editing?
i have a friend in a university and i have access to numerous bits of software for example sony vegas movie studio, however this looks like its more for the advanced user and not the beginer.
all suggestions greatfully recieved.

thanks

Sony Vegas 9.0 is the best, just watch some youtube tutorials on how to edit with it

Sony Vegas has to be the best & easiest software to start to learn to edit with. I guess Windows movie maker might be easier, but you'll have better results w/ Vegas.

You can also mess around with Adobe After Effects as well to create some unique features as well as intros.

yea nice vids by the way and ehh yea i tried downloading vegas but somin keeps messing up and it just isnt working for me so i am going to use Windows movie maker (suits my n00byness) but my only issue is that my dazzle only records in .VOB and not WMA or AVI :/ so i cant seem to convert it into a format Windows movie maker will accept but yea if hes just starting off use something like windows movie maker then try out Sony vegas :O

vegas 9 is the best and most user friendly and can get great results once you lean

ok first use divx converter to get the 12mb to like 500kb per second and quality stays same, and use Sony Vegas 9 pro

sony vegas... that's it, hands down.

Sony vegas is your best choice.
I personally use Vegas 8.0 pro, I havent DL'd 9.0 yet

windows movie maker WILL accept .avi files(its what i use) you then drag the completed file into the storyview(after creating a file on pinnacle 12) and simply choose to publish the file. this converts it into a .wmm file which is easier to upload to youtube !

yea thanks but i cant seem to get it into the AVI format to begin with its automatically records in .VOB and i dont have the software to change that :/
