Re: Simple movie editing on Windows

I have used a variety of movie editing software including MM, Roxio,
Pinnacle's Videospin and Live MM. My preference is Roxio on my own
computer, but that isn't a cost-effective solution for student
computers. We've used MM for most student projects, but I was
introduced to Pinnacle's videospin free download software recently and
played with it a bit. I will be adding it to all images for next year.
I played with Live MM just briefly on a student's personal computer. I
found it more cumbersome and less intuitive to manipulate, perhaps
because of the difference in user interface compared to the other
options. I would check out Videospin.

Subject: Simple movie editing on Windows

We've been using Pinnacle Studio 9 for years, and more recently have
begun using Windows Movie Maker for simpler projects. With our upcoming
transition to Windows 7 this summer, combined with the age of our
Pinnacle version, I'm looking for alternatives.


What are Windows schools using these days for simple to intermediate
non-linear video editing projects? Has anyone used the new Windows Live
Movie Maker and do you have any feedback on that? My communications
office is playing with Premiere Elements, but it hardly seems simple.

Thanks,
Steven
