I'm kind of sick of hearing that argument. People have this false delusion that having this magical expensive program will automatically make good videos. As I said in the other thread:
It's the editor, not the software that makes a video.

True...but being able to do those extra things doesn't mean you can't make a good video with WMM.

TaranT wrote:Looks like you kicked up a lot of dust with your first (?) post. As the others have pointed out, the software isn't the main issue. However, it would be possible to level the field by setting the contest rules to accomodate the lowest common denominator. For example:
* use any software package you want
* edit with unchanged footage (no effects of any kind)
* no overlays, no motion, no zooms, etc.
* transition with cuts, fades & cross-dissolves only
* etc.
I think this is closer to what you were suggesting. But it still doesn't level the field vis-a-vis experience, skill and talent. Beginners are handicapped no matter what the tools are.
