Recommended editing software?

Question

I'm interested in buying some editing software and I've read all kind of different reviews? I'm looking something for some basic to intermediate video editing? Windows Movie Maker just isn't cutting it and right now I am using Pinnacle Studio 10 which isn't really all that impressive and is pretty limited with a ton of software bugs! I'm having some major issues for simple tasks I'm trying to do. Some of the names I have heard are Roxio and someone recommended Pinnacle Studio 12 as being the best editing software on the market?? Thanks

Answer 1

You are on a MAC use Final Cut Pro, hands down it is the best and quite a few professionals use it.

If you are on a PC your best option is Adobe Premiere or Premier Pro.

Of course their are other higher end options, but for now the prices of these are reasonable but will do basically everything you could want.
