video editing software on macbook pro image
Jean
I currently use Vegas in Windows 7 and I hate 8.
So if I get a 13-inch: 2.9 GHz (i7) with a SSD Macbook Pro. What is the best video editing software?
Answer
Why? Are you planning to work in the video editing business? If so, think twice about buying a dinky little notebook for real work. You need a Mac Pro. No video editor uses fewer than three displays. No notebook can use more than two.
For software, 49% of pro movie editors use Final Cut Pro, with Avid Media Composer users at a distant second place 22%. No one in Hollywood uses Sony.

Is there a loss of quality when using Final Cut Pro for AVCHD videos?

Hi, I have a Sony HDR-TG1 and a Macbook Pro. I am looking for a good video editing software that will allow me to work with my camera's AVCHD format. I have read a lot of things about Final Cut Pro and how it doesn't support AVCHD without conversion. I was wondering if there is a loss of quality that arises from the conversion or if the video is just as good?
If the video quality isn't as good, can you please recommend a different program for me to use?
Thanks!
Answer
Any conversion reduces quality, its just a fact! its always better to edit the video in its original format, AVCHD is a nightmare, highly compressed, when you try to edit it, your computer will have to do a lot of work, secondly what medium are you going to use to play it back. posting on youtube quality is not an issue because by the time they have compressed your video, the quality will not be that good. putting onto DVD then you dont need HD, you cannot play hd video on a DVD, the last two options are Bluray and playback from your computer.
There is nothing wrong with FCP, Personally I use Adobe CS5, I have used adobe products for years, so I stick with them
