OT: Video editing software

David Rosen

Hi Everyone,

I recently got a Go Pro HD camera and took some decent videos with it. The raw files play back fine but when I use the editing software I have (Windows Movie Maker or MGI Videowave 4), the "produced" movie becomes jerky. I have a feeling this has to do with the compression rate or codecs that are being used.

Thus, my question to those who are in the know: what video editing software are you using? I've heard great things about Adobe Premiere but am not ready to plunk down $100 just yet. Are there any free options out there?

My hardware should be fine. XP MCE, 4gb RAM, 512mb video card, Dual core processor, plenty of HDD space.

Please reply off list and thank you for the help.
