Video editing

I am trying to make a home video, but even though I have mastered MM2, it still sucks because I want more than what it can provide. Sometimes it even gives me errors, and that really sucks when I am trying to capture a large video from my camera.

So, any software that doesn't cost $125+ and is somewhat easy but not too easy to use?

Oh yeah, why all of a sudden, does mm2 not record my sounds?

A lot more information is required to answer your question. Nobody can troubleshoot errors via telepathy so what do you mean when you say MM2 doesn't record sounds? Are there errors? Is Windows fully updated? Is the mic plugged into the correct port? Is your sound card using updated drivers?

And what additional features are you looking for that MM2 doesn't provide.

And what do you mean by, "somewhat easy but not too easy to use?".

Ok, it seems like theres a lot of options for me :icon26: .

Well.. MM2 has a lot of bugs in it that just piss me off (like I add a slow motion effect to 1 clip, yet it keeps going on to the next clips even though its supposed to end prior to them). I actually don't mind the diffiuclty of using video editing software. As long as its a popular version, and used by many people, so I could possibly find a tutorial and get help on it more easily. Almost every effect that MM2 can add is primitive to the effects of professional videos and can probably be used by a 9 year old. I fixed the sound problem, it was just my camera that had some problems.

So thats about it.
If you guys have ever seen a skate video, thats what I'm into making.

This would be an example of good editing I would like to do. It has good slow motion effects and a nice title to go with it.

Ah, my friend doesn't like video editing, so he gave me his old adobe premier and it works much more better than MM2. I am learning slow, but I feel good when I learn something that MM2 can't provide.
