I need a new editing program..

Hi, I'm new to his forum but not to movie making. Anyway, I bought Pinnacle Studio 10 a while ago and it started out to be good but it isn't now. It's slow, the playback isn't good, the graphics get worse once on the program, and other annoying things. I don't have a Mac but all the good programs seem to be for that computer. So, do any of you know of a good program that isn't too pricey for a PC, but is more advanced and has more to offer than Pinnacle. Pinnacle is pretty good, it has lots of customizable effects and it has chroma keying and everything, but im sure a more advanced program would have the same. Thanks in advanced, I just really love to edit videos and its hard with a program that won't cooperate!

I'm a final Cut Pro user so I don't really know all the programs for PC. But I did a Google search and there seem to be a lot of choices. When you checked on Google are there any programs listed that looked like it might do what you need?

Re: I need a new editing program..

I looked at some reviews that were side by side and some programs had some things that the others didn't so, none were completely superior to another. I guess the next step up would have to be one of those expensive ones by adobe, they sound like they have what i want, but its supposedly hard to use.

Most of them are hard to use. Most anything is hard to do at first. Working at it, we get better. And I agree with what you have discovered - none of them are superior to another. You know there are people who like Coke better than Pepsi - doesn't make Coke better. Most of the time the speed of an NLE depends more on your computer than on the software. If Pinnacle is running slow for you, a more expensive software with more control might run even slower.

Mac Users should use FCP and PC users should use Avid. Both industry standards.
