What's your take on it? It's the first video editor I've tried (after WMM which I find as crap) and can't stand the fact that I cannot select the scenes I want directly from video but have to let the program detect them. And this takes a shitload of time. I'm getting adobe premiere now, how's that one like? do I have to make the clips I want in a program like virtualdub beforehand like in this case?

Yes.

you gotta save them as editable file type, you should use a losless codec like Huffy or lagarith to edit with.

You can still cut those clips in the program itself, but I prefer saving the clips before.

+Clean your footage up like dvds.

Well most more professional programs don´t have such a function anymore. You have to cut out the scenes you need by yourself. It´s effort.

so what program do you guys use for making clips? I've tried virtual dub but it's useless because it inserts the last keyframe before the selection I want to save as a clip.

ex:
frame -
keyframe +

video: -----+---------------+-----------
I select to save: --
the program saves: +--

also, can I work in other format than DV or HDV in the workspace? what settings do you use?

thanks for all your help
