In you're opinion, what program do you think works the best?

depends on the editor and what you want to do... if your only going to make simple videos, windows movie maker is best... if you need something more powerful... well there are plenty of options. is there a "best"? no

Obviously a lot of people around here would disagree. Probably 75% or more of the org is going to say Adobe. I just recently started with Adobe, it does make some of the timing easier and editing much more detailed. However at one point in time I did use some other programs, MGI Video Wave 4 & 7, Pinnacle Studios 8 & 9. I say edit what you feel comfortable with. Get the basics down. Get yourself a story in an amv. Have your amv make sense, and not be random. If you have a good concept, with good timing/ flow. It'll be fine. Then you can advance on to some more of the detailed stuff. I've made the mistake of trying to advance to fast in editing programs. It is good to advance, but only advance when you think you can handle it.

"best" is a very subjective term.

It's simply about the program you learn and are most comfortable with.

I learned the basics of editting on a program released by Canopus (a capture card company) called RexEdit.

Then I moved into iMovie for a bit, and finally I learned Adobe Premiere and I still use that.

You make better AMV's if you're comfortable with your program, that's the "best" program for you.

Certain programs let you do more as far as effects go or let you have more control over your audio or video, but that's not really what you're asking is it?

Sony Vegas seems to be getting more popular, I have tried Windows Movie Maker, ULEAD and Vegas...

out of the three I like Vegas the best... I have not the money fore Premeire, but Vegas gives you some neat options... I'd say its probably the intermediate between WMM and Premeire...

I remember when I first started, I used this program called moviexone for 2 videos...my memory is fading now with my old age, so I do not recall exactly how much I hated it or loved it...but I do remember thinking that it was a really good program for the price

free


worth looking in to if you're not ready to spend the big bucks...or...small bucks

AIST doesn't give it for free since a while. But you still can find version 4.0 at the net. I use it. It has only a small number of effects and transitions, but it has an A/B editing track and an overlay track. Some say it's difficult to handle. I can't compare it with other prog's, but I don't find it difficult. Different than the most other Windows editing prog's it doesn't need WinXP. It runs on all Windows versions beginning with Win98. That's why I use it.
