Does anyone know what the best editing program is? Like with the most features and stuff? Right now I have Pinnacle Video Studio 8 and Magix Movie Edit Pro. I also sometimes use Windows Movie Maker Version 2.0 for small jobs.

I'm using a combination of Vegas Video 4 and Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5, but hands down the best thing is Avid DV Pro, but it's the most expensive too

Final Cut Pro. Nuff said. But since you are using a PC, Avid is your best bet.

Sony Vegas 5.

mac or pc, avid is the best bet.
if you cant afford that premier pro(PC), or FCP(mac) is still good stuff.

I've got Avid Xpress Pro.

It's a great tool. Editing goes really fast and it's very, very user friendly, and it has lots of options. You can easily hop to color correction, you can very, very easily add some effects, you can easily watch all you've made at the moment. Avid doesn't have functions you can use which take a lot of time.

That makes Avid very user friendly, a very good program and fast to use. Editing is no hell anymore, it's a dream...

The best I guess would be a full Final Cut Pro or Avid Symphony suite with all the third-party plug-in packages that they make for them.

I was looking @ the Avid website a couple of weeks ago. And damn, haven't they got a bunch of programs. I'm very curious what all serve for, Xpress Pro seems sufficient enough...

Vegas 5

Very, very easy interface for non-hassle editing.

Composer and Symphony are the two above Xpress, I think.

Composer can do unlimited tracks of video and audio, plus has better plug-ins that come with the original suite, and either more output options/VTR controller options, or something having to do with input/output/offline/online.

Symphony lets you do everything all the other Avid machines do, and lets you work in any format, so people that work with film, video, broadcast, DVD production, that need one machine that can do all the different projects and settings, Symphony does it all.

They also have a lot of other programs that aren't necessarily video/film editing. And they also own ProTools, so they do a lot of audio stuff now.

vegas baby, vegas.

100 % agree. Vegas all the way.

I'm moving this to post-production.
