Hi to all.
I am looking to start a second business in wedding videography. In terms of video editing software, I only at this time know two basic apps. One is Pinnacle Studio, and the other is Avid FreeDVD on an IBM system.
I understand the consensus would be that these are not appropriate apps to use for a professional wedding business or far from it. However, I was hoping for your opinion in starting out with these two apps, until I booked a few jobs to see if this is something I would do on a more full term basis.
Aside from the many glitches of the Pinnacle product, and the additional time to workaround all its problems - I was able to produce several very professional looking wedding DVD's from raw DV footage.
I was considering buying an Apple & Final Cut (and teaching myself the product), or looking at full featured AVid, but again I would really like to test the waters prior to jumping in. I guess my question is - is that possible with Pinnacle Studio or Avid Free DVD?
Thanks
