Editing riding video.

johnrunner · May 10, 2012

Hey guys, so I have a bunch of footage from my Contour that I want to edit into a video. Any one have recommendations on a program that is easy to use? Hoping to easily cut out parts from different videos and add them together. Maybe throw in a little background music. Then I can finally throw up some videos on here from my previous rides with other DBA's!

Any help would be appreciated!

windows movie maker is easy but it lacks if you want to get serious. i use adobie premier which is pretty simple but to get effects and things that I want i have to use adobe after effects which is a lot more complicated.

I use Adobe Premier Elements for what little video editing I do, it's the cheaper consumer version.

You can get it by itself for $100 Click Here or get the Premier/Photoshop Elements bundle (which is what I have) for $150 Click Here.

Unfortunately all the good stuff costs money.

If you have a windows PC I'd suggest checking out Windows Movie Maker (it's free).

Geez dummy, if you have a Mac it is all at your finger tips. Unless the make is as old as you. Or, you can always run parallel windows or boot camp.

Does anybody else get music when clicking on this link? Oh and it doesn't go away until I close this DBA window.
