= Creating a Podcast for Reviewing Free Video Editing Software  =

" Whether you’re creating a Hollywood feature film or tightening a vacation video, the challenge is to take raw footage and within the limitation of equipment and budget, transform it into something compelling and watchable (Lonquist, 1994)."

This week we reviewed free video editing software. I researched and downloaded a few video editing programs. I will take all of them off of my computer as soon as this class is over. Many were hard to use and harder to remove from the computer. One program, ZS4, did not open at all.

Most computers come equipped with Windows Movie Maker. The new HP computers now come with Cyberlink DVD Suite Deluxe. I found that Cyberlink has more bells and whistles than Windows Movie Maker but is not as easy to use as the latter. I like the transitions and effects available on Cyberlink. I also like the text options available. I can see taking raw footage and transforming it into something compelling and watchable. Cyberlink seems to publish faster than Windows Movie Maker, but the movie was grainy on RealPlayer.
