Hi all,
It is slightly off topic but it is a small bit related!!!
I am semi-pro photographer and shoot most of my work on digital. This summer I went to Kenya to do charity work for the Friends of Londiani charity. Check out http://www.friendsoflonidian.com for more details. It was a fantastic experience.
I brought several cameras with me but also I was asked by my mother to buy a camcorder and film a video diary. I bought a Canon Mini Dv video MD160 amatuer video and filmed the trip reasonable well. I always imagined videoing would be easier thou!!
Anyway, I am now left with 8 hours of footage. I was wondering what is the best way to edit it. I would purchase software if I knew it was worth it for my video editing.(Up to $100 aprox) I want to cut music from the tape and put it as background at different scenes etc.... I also want to add music and my photos and create DVD's etc.....I noticed it uses even bigger memory than photos....I want to create the DVD's as straight forward as possible but realise there is a serious amount of cutting and pasting to be done!!
Any recommendations would be apprecaited...
thanks in advance,
Tom
