techy guys...best video editor to buy... - Piggy - 21-12-2014

New nopro video camera, SJ4000, is ace but it records in MOV

So need a converter program.

Ive tried a couple and either they come with a virus or turn out to not be free and only give you one video conversion. 

Any suggestions?!

--------------------------------

scrub that...after a few rubbish bits of software and more time wasted...time to buy a decent bit of video editing software....suggestions? £40 ish budget

We use the Hikvision software at work. Might be worth a try. Link below but you may have to register with them. Only takes two minutes.

What software are you using to edit? Any decent editing software will import any format tbh..including MOV

This is my industry. I'm surprised you can't read Mov. Although it's from Apple, it's pretty universal. Maybe you just need to download a decent driver set. Give Perian a go.
In my line of business we all use Macs. My go to app is MPEG Streamclip. Swear by it. I'm guessing it works on PCs too.


RE: techy guys...best mov video converter - Piggy - 22-12-2014

Will try Handbrake ThumbsUp


RE: techy guys...best mov video converter - Piggy - 27-12-2014

Handbrake SUCKSS!!!!

Just crashes constantly. Piece of junk.

NEXT!...

Are you sure it's crashing... It's a pretty popular piece of software...

Sounds to me more like a PICNIC error...

i.e a user error yahhhh, maybe give it another shot before proclaiming it to be teh sux0r


RE: techy guys...best mov video converter - Piggy - 27-12-2014

I don't like picnics, prefer lion or snickers

So "handbrake" would crash as soon as you selected any file to convert. didnt matter what the file was!

"Super" was just buggy and came with spyware.

I think, as I need some video editing software anyway...I may aswell invest this weekend in some editing software that will also handle the MOV files....

so....I'm reading a bunch of reviews now...but best video editing software guys? I don't want to spend more than about £40.

Suggestions? (I'm running Windows7 by the way)

"Cyberlink PowerDirector" seems to be best in reviews so far...


RE: techy guys...best video editor to buy... - Piggy - 27-12-2014

I can get the Power Director 13 ULTRA for £39 delivered tomorrow with Prime.

(need CD as my internet is too slow for a big download)


RE: techy guys...best video editor to buy... - bigcheez2k3 - 27-12-2014

For £40 you won't get good video editing software, you'll get something terrible and be £40 down.

Things like Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro are the best for doing it but they aren't cheap, unless you go the illegal route.

Don't have to go illegal. Sign up on Adobe as a student and you get a nice 3 year trial Wink

Edit: Ignore me, I'm thinking of Autodesk


RE: techy guys...best video editor to buy... - zx_volcane - 27-12-2014

I think if you wanted to, you could pick up a legit copy of premier or final cut for £40 - just be a pretty old version, still plenty good though. Or look at premier elements. People sell on their legit keys when upgrading

check out ebay


RE: techy guys...best video editor to buy... - Eeyore - 28-12-2014

Adobe premier elements. Its the nuts. Sony Vegas is old and tricky.


RE: techy guys...best video editor to buy... - Piggy - 28-12-2014

Ok will have a look.

The Power Director 13 is top of all reviews and usually about £80-100 but on offer for £39 at the mo
