I use it regularly, and the quality seems to be better than capturing with an NLE. You might even be able to avoid using an NLE at all.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/can-i-pay-to-get-a-dvd-edited#post-52096 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:26:19 +0000 kickerr 52096@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thats great.

Basically i have a wildlife dvd (a genuine dvd i bought in the shop) and i want to cut some scenes out of the dvd and upload them onto the computer. Then ideally i want a large flat screen monitor (completely seperate of the computer) and somehow to be able to send one of the wildlife scenes from the computer to the flat screen monitor. Otherwise maybe just use a USB memory stick and transfer data from computer to flat screen that way. </p> <p>Would you know about any of this birdcat? I would really appreciate any advice you could offer me. My email address is <a href="mailto:stevekerr101@hotmail.com">stevekerr101@hotmail.com</a></p> <p>Thanks in advance.

Find Effect presets in the Effects window (Window --&gt; Effects). The Presets folder in the Effects window contains several subfolders.

Really? That's interesting. I've heard many people say Avid editors will have a easier time learning FCP while FCP editors will have a hard time learning Avid. Seems to hold true - at least in my experience. I learned FCP first and have no desire to try Avid again. The interface made no sense to me when I took an Avid class. All the people I know who use both programs seem to have started with Avid.</p> <p>When it comes down to it though, both Avid and FCP do the same thing - they cut the video, but here are some key difference I've heard:</p> <p>One thing I hear a lot is with FCP, you have to keep track of your media at all times. You really have to make sure you are organized. With Avid, I heard it takes care of all that for you. You can keep editing and Avid knows where to put your stuff if you import more media half way through a project. When you buy Avid though, all you get is Avid. I don't believe you get a software bundle like you do with Final Cut. So with Final Cut you basically get a complete digital studio for $1200 while $2500 will get Avid...just Avid.</p> <p>Something I heard recently is that Avid still seems to be dominant out west while FCP seems to have taken over NYC, Philly, Pittsburgh, DC - the north east.</p> <p>And finally, I hate to say it, but if you have Avid on your resume, employers will probably take you more seriously. See, FCP is pirated all the time. That doesn't really happen with Avid. So there are all these people running around who THINK they're editors because they have FCP when really they are nothing more than people with FCP. So I feel like knowing Avid will help you separate yourself from that crowd, which I recommend. Those people are annoying.</p> <p>(by the way, has anyone else ever come across "videographers" who think they can shoot because they know how to point there camera at something? If you want to kill yourself, try editing that footage.)</p> <p>Anyway, those are some things to think about. Best thing to do is learn both, but unfortunately we can't all learn everything at once. Pick one to start with. From there, learn how to use it efficiently before learning the other. Most importantly, learn what editing actually is. It's one thing to know how to use the tools, but if you don't know how to use them to tell a story, you're SOL.</p> <p>THERE, Rob, did it for you, you lazy butt :-) But only this once.
