What video editing program?

When I started messing around with making some videos of my RC racing I really liked the iMovie that comes on Macs.
I made this video with it, had two people shooting my race and tried to splice everything up seamlessly. Not bad for maybe my second attempt at anything but adding music to a video.

The Windows program is what most people use as it is easy and stress free. I had the Sony program too, had being the operative word.
The good thing about owning/buying a MAC these days is you can hit up an apple store and get in on a class that teaches you how to operate it and all the programs.
Affording one is the hard part.
Yeah but the thing is I borrowed a friend's camera (Flip Ultra HD) and windows movie maker doesn't seem to accept the format. Not sure why as it accepts every other video's format.
So I tried it on different computers and it still didn't work. Threw the video into the Sony video editor and it works. I don't really want to lose the quality of the HD either so I'm out of luck...

Most cameras/ camcorders now have settings for at least two formats. You need to play with the menu settings and see.
That Sony is one of the best for HD video, I have ver 9. Buddy of mine who only buys top of the line stuff did the research for me, he said it is their $1k software without documentation... that's why it's so hard to do some simple things, the documentation is crude. Their are some sites out there for help, I've found the basic things are great, trying to do a little something different is just a matter of searching.
+1 on iMovie... mac FTW!When I started messing around with making some videos of my RC racing I really liked the iMovie that comes on Macs.

I hear Sony Vegas is a good one for a windows pc. I personally use either iMovie or Final Cut Pro on the mac. If you just want to do simple cuts you can use Quicktime Pro on a mac or pc. Most of the videos I upload to YouTube are done with Quicktime Pro since I don't use transitions or titles on most of my bike videos.
Google and download the K-Lite Codec pack. I use WMM and it works fine for my Vado HD.
I have Pinnacle Studio 12 and really like it. Movies are extremely easy and intuitive to create; so is the sound/music editing. If I'm not simply resizing a pic for e-mail, then I go through Pinnicle for just about everything.

Damn sent me back to the 2010 thread. Thanks was just looking for some help. Your thread has been deleted. Lol
+1 on the Pinnacle Studio.....
I use this PowerDirector 10 Deluxe | Video Editing Software u can buy this and download it or buy the box version and get it in the mail.
love this program, tons of transitions, effects, color adjusting, easy to do slo-mo's. There are plenty of tutorials on youtube and it really is nice, easy, and simple to use.
Here's a video that took me about 20 minutes to put together and that was mostly finding the clips i want to use.
