On the System Requirements, for the PC, they list Windows 2000 and Windows XP. They don't even list Vista, much less Vista 64-bit.

Hey Mike

I do not have the Pro version of QuickTime, I use the free version, but I am told there is no difference, just that you are able to edit in the Pro version... this is what I am told... Your mileage may vary.

It plays videos nice on 32 bit Vista anyway

...

Sorry I'm not better help than that.

Rich - I'm using the free version of Quicktime on my Vista 64-bit system, so the Pro version would hopefully work as well.

From my quick research, I like Adobe Premiere Elements 7, which will be released in 8 more days. They claim Vista support, but I need to validate if it will actually support the 64-bit version of Vista.

I'm going to explore that option further, as it appears to be a good package for the price.

Are we talking about Quicktime from Apple, or is there any other out there?
Please provide the link. Thanks.

OK, but that version is $550. Anything out there cheaper? I'd like to spend around $150 or less.

Mike

http://lives.sourceforge.net/index.php on some form of linux/unix - they will give it to you for a grand total of $0. Same price for a shiny OS to run it on too. You could spend your $150 on someone setting it up nicely for you.

This is good news. Which specific version of Sony Vegas do you use? The "Pro" version is quite expensive, so I'm hoping that one of the "lesser" versions will support Vista 64.

In the Professional world there are three competitors.

Adobe Premier Pro
Apple Final Cut Pro
Sony Vegas (I think there's a pro here too!)

I use Adobe Premier because I think it's more universal, plus I don't have a mac for using FC. Final Cut is numero uno in the world of editing, it's like Photoshop.

Whatever you want though.

Edit: 64-bit versions are only in the top of the line, you're not getting it cheaper than whatever 1000's of dollars they want you to pay.

The word from Adobe is that Premiere Elements 7 (to be released in 7 days) will run on Vista 64 as a 32 bit app.

Well, that's better than nothing - at least it will run.

Supposedly, the upcoming CS4 version of Premiere Pro will run as a native 64 bit app on Vista 64.

Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, etc... There's a bunch out there to choose from. I've used all three and I like Premiere the most.

Another vote for Sony Vegas (Movie Studio 8 is what I'm using), and it cost less than $100.

BTW...what's up with all the "tag" posts in the thread? Fred has a subscribe feature at the top of each thread that works great.

The $100 version does not run on Vista 64.

Final Cut Pro is such an industry standard for working with mpegs, if you plan to work in other studios it's almost worth getting a Mac.

Of course you can use Adobe and then transfer as OMF or MXF, or whatever, but make sure to put a 2-pop at the beining and end, to ensure sync.

Is video editing software (Premiere and/or Final Cut in particular) somewhat similar to the visual editing/PPing in Photoshop CS2/3? (In terms of layers, masks, sharpening, dodging, burning, contrast, etc., etc., etc.)

I ask this because I have never really done real video-editing and wondering if the learning curve is going to be a little easier for a PS user. (visual specifically).

(I've experimented in the past with the cheapy software that came with the Windows OS (I now use Apple), and also used to do quite a few dj mix editing w/ various audio editing software; so I am somewhat familiar to how videos are put together in terms of stacking/merging/blending "tracks" of different video and audio clips (dunno the right terminology)).

Not in my experience, but I usually try to get things right in camera and use the NLE to put together audio, multiple cameras as well as cg (titling, transitions, and similar).
