Hello,

I'm looking for some good, middle-of-the-road video editing software.

I can't afford Premiere, but I'm afraid iMovie can't do everything I need. Any ideas?

When you say you're afraid iMovie can't do everything you need, does that mean you don't want to buy it and find out it's not robust enough or does it not have enough options. If it's the former, then I suggest you try out iMovie 1.0.2. It has basically the same options as the 2.0 version. I think it's still available as a download from Apple.

Check out EditDV Unplugged. It's free at http://digitalorigin.media100.com/un.../register1.asp

It's a lot more flexible and capable than iMovie.

Good luck!

Hello everyone,

Thanks for your help! After looking at this page (compares iMovie 1 with iMovie 2), I decided that iMovie probably does everything I need.
