For students you can look out for educational prices. I usually order my stuff through

http://www.creationengine.com

Heres a sample:

Adobe Digital Video Collection 8.0 WIN/MAC
(Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop & Illustrator)
AD81211 $469.00
(this gets you the full version of each of these programs, with the manual)

LightWave 3D 7.5 MAC/WIN Upgrade
(serial number required)
NT22513 $199.00


LightWave 3D 7.5 MAC/WIN USB
NT22413 $395.00
(The five pack of lightwave is 995.00, and it includes five usb dongles, so pool up five guys that want it and you're set)

Good thread, but can anyone help me with Ulead's VideoStudio?

What I need to know is... have you used it, and if so does it tend to crash every 10 seconds with a C++ library runtime exception?

If it is as buggy as it seems, are there any other STABLE sub $100 editors that work in the same fashion? Any that also allow panning/Zoom?

I'm running a PII 400mhz, but I find ONLY a recomendation for an 800mhz PIII or greater if your doing capturing (which I'm not). Never the less, I wonder if the BIG crashing problem is a matter of my PII being too slow.

I have 256mb memory BTW.

I suppose you were expecting somthing witty?

Taran, add Cinelerra to the audio editing list, seeing as how it was an audio editing program before it became Cinelerra :D

Yorokobi I've used Pinnacles program in the past, and I have the new version of studio 8 although since I've invested so much time into premiere that generally I don't use it much.

It's an excellent program. It's a single track editing system, with hundreds of canned transition effects. Studio likes to use a capture board, and can work directly with mpeg 1 and 2 files. You can also export with these formats with no loss in speed as it is usually hardware encoded. Real time previews and transitions are one of the major selling points. If you have an older board, contact pinnacle, they have a buyback/upgrade policy that kicks ass.

Personally I've never really liked the scrubbing system for timing music to video, but your mileage may vary.

I'm also not super fond of the big honkin' interface. It feels like I'm wasting work area somehow.

Hope that helps.

Sorry, "there is no edit button". The hope was that corrections and updates would be made by posting replies in this thread...as you've done.

I had different problems with Video Studio and stopped using it. You might consider VideoFactory (from either Sonic Foundry or Sony, it's the same program). It's under $100, easy to use with only two video tracks, does panning and zoom and a bunch of built-in effects. I made several AMVs with it before moving up. At first I had it running on a 600 MHz (PII) Celeron, although currently I'm running it on an 800 MHz PIII.

You'll find some reviews on the Software page (link from your member home page).

I use the free Irfanview for my image editing (granted its mediocre but). Irfanview + Paintbrush > Photoshop in my experiance, and it's got media playing, capturing capability etc.
