Frankly speaking, the best software is one that you will use and are comfortable with. There are Avid users who just cant touch FCP and vice versa. There are Premiere Pro users who are churning out great work.
Effects can be installed as plugins and can be done with a combo of software such as After Effects, Motion, Vue, etc. If you're just talking about transitions, then look at various software packages and search for plugins that you can purchase.
My choice is Final Cut Studio 2...not becoz its the best but becoz its value for money. Then again, you may not use 90% of the stuff that comes bundled with it.
No offence here but if you are going to look at effects and transitions as the deciding factor for your NLE choice....you may need to brush up on editing. Good straight cuts with great music will often suffice.
Actually, if you can handle it, just after effects is good enough for all your uses. It even works as a moving picture photoshop. In any case the best transition is a straight cut.
Aft effect is more design as a compositing tool.. tho u can still use it for editing w trx and assembling ur clips. try it to edit a long video and u kno wat i mean..![]()
i am also looking for a software to help my friend do up his montage video to be played during his wedding dinner at night.
is Final Cut Pro for mac only?
Ha!
i do know what you mean. still it provides all the tools and more. virtually unlimited transitions.
u will hv hard time rendering with long video..
But if you like rendering, you will love using AE for video editing! :devil:
