well yea then. i personally am very computer literate and i pick up complex programs quickly. I usually i have a few question but usually the online help and such. In my video graphics class i am usually helpiung kids as much as the teacher.

 

man.. i am so old school.. i use windows movie maker.. seriously what else do ya need?


What are you wanting to be able to do with this software? what kind of goals of editing do you have?

 

that is like the one of the worst editing programs

 

Adobe Premiere can be fun when you learn how to use it and get to play around with it.

(OT but does anyone know If it was adobe that bought macromedia or visa versa?)

 

Adobe bought Macromedia. Sad day IMHO.

 

i dont know i think Adibe is amazing. PS and After effects are great programs.

 

I'll give you that, PS is POWERFUL.

The only problem I see is that when it comes to Web Design, you don't always need the power of PS to generate a simple header or graphics for a site. Fireworks is so much easier to work in, and is more or less taylored specifically to working and integrating with Dreamweaver, which again, I think is superior to GoLive. All my opinion. I just think that Macromedia is more Web oriented and then Adobe would be more Graphics editing/Publishing, etc. I haven't used their video editing software, as Apple's FCP is all I've ever used. I don't think anyone can disagree that FCP is by far the leader in Video editing. If it wasn't the pro's wouldn't be using it so heavily.

 

OK, Adobe Premiere is great for the PC platform and so is Pinnacle. I found Pinnacle takes a lot less hard drive space and is very straight forward and easy to use, whereas Premiere is very technical and you will NEVER use all of the features and functions made available to you with it.
