Excellent Editing Suite January 7, 2009 For several years I ran a small video production company, filming and editing the product. I wanted something a little easier to operate than a full professional suite (e.g Adobe Premier) and, as I have a Sony avchd camcorder for personal use, thought I'd try this product.
It is excellent. Runs smoothly on my high spec'd PC. (Vista SP1 2.87g Quad, 4 Mb Ram 512 Graphics.)
The tutorials get you started and with the use of the on-line help I've been able to develop a fast and simple way of editing home movies. (Cutting away the rubbish, adding titles, cross fading vision and sound)
It has also allowed me to produce a HD DVD by rendering to avchd and the using the DVD authoring software that came with the camera. (No need for Blu-ray but the DVD will only play on my PS3)
The authoring package that comes with Platinum is a litle more difficult to get to grips with but is is very versatile and allows full menu selections with scenes and animated buttons.
