    Ok I have never gotten around to exploring much video editing.
    But I would like to start learning now.
    What video editing programs do any of you recommend or use yourselves?

    Thanks IA

    I made a lot of movies, for school and fun and i used serveral programmes such as adobe premiere, sony vegas pro 6,7,8 and pinnacle studio's. And in my opinion is vegas the best of the 3. Pinnacle sucks and i wouldn't recommend it to you

    I recommend using/learning Adobe Premiere Pro. It's not free, but it's one of the best video editing applications. Another good one is Sony Vegas. Also not free, but it's easier to use than Premiere.

    I've used both, so I recommend them :D

    Pinnacle Studio is the best to learn. Fast, easy and intuitive. The only problem is that the older versions crashes a lot. I don't know if they corrected that problem.

    Adobe Premiere Pro gets the job done but the interface is hard to learn if you never did video montage.

    Ive started using Sony Vegas and Im pretty happy with it. Interface is a bit simpler that Adobe and its easier to use.
