Video editing software

[Guest]

Hi guys,

Given that a number of us video our helis I pressume most have had to edit them. I am after some software that can go beyond the Windows Movie Maker on PC and iMovie on the Mac.

Obviously, due to this hobby there is little money to spend on it but there is some :D

I am especially curious to know what software the Helituning videos are edited with. They seem very professional and the titles etc look great.

One feature I do want is to merge 2 videos in to one and play them side by side simultaneously as one video.

Many thanks,
Jack

Sony Vegas!

It's brilliant.

I dont know how much it costs to buy but there are several cracked versions to download if you search hard enough and loads of tutorials on you tube to generate all the SFX.

Thanks for the kind words!
We use Adobe After Effects and Sony Vegas Pro (legitimate software!) for Helituning videos.
A cheaper option would be something like Pinnacle Studio.

Cheers,
Rob

VideoStudio X2 by Corel is about £70 and works quite well for what I have done so far.

The downside of using the stuff we use for HeliTuning is the price, you are looking at around £500 each for those two packages and then on top of that we use several plug-ins which also cost extra. In total we've got around £2000 invested in video editing and effects software.

My advice would be to use ebay but be very careful what you buy as there's a fair bit of ripped off nicked stuff on there.

2000 pounds.... crumbs

I'd of bought this for the money and a Mac

thing is it won't do anything near what you can do with After Effects, there's a reason the TV & film industry use After Effects for their special effects. Final Cut is ok for staright forward editing though.

i'd of least got the mac version then :)

any one who can do the video animation stuff i'll take my hat off to them,

actually anyone that can draw is better than me in that sense :)

There's a pretty steep learning curve with After Affects I'll say that much, it's not like you point and click a few things and it magics up some sweet looking graphics.
