Can Windows 8 run Windows 7 software programs or just apps from the Windows Store?

video editing software in windows 8 image

Doc

I'm thinking about upgrading to Windows 8 from 7, but I'm wondering if my video editing software, graphics programs, iTunes, and all that other stuff will be able to run in Windows 8. Also, does a preview/beta version of Office 2013 come with Windows 8, or a full version?

What is a easy-to-use video editing software with lots of features?

James

I need a video editing software that is somewhat easy to use. And also has a lot of feature. Like Sony Vegas, only just a little easier to use. But not like Windows Movie Maker, where it all around just sucks balls. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

What makes a good gaming and video editing laptop?

good windows laptop for video editing image

Willz

I am going to college in the fall, so I am in need of a good laptop. According to my parents, it is inevitable that I will be getting a PC around $1,000-1,500. I would prefer HP with Windows 7.

Anyways, I want a laptop that would not only run games well, but also run video editing software well. I want to play games like "Minecraft" and other Steam games on high settings without much lagging. I am going to get Adobe Premeire Pro for video editing.

I now that I need a good dedicated graphics card (ex: NVIDIA) for the games, but that's about it. So, what specifications do I need to look for in a good video gaming and video editing laptop?

Thanks!
@TheTurtleGuy: I'd like to have Alienware, but their laptops are WAY too expensive. And like I said, my parents can only give me a laptop around $1,000 to $1,500. Thanks for your answer, though.

Answer
Elements of both a good gaming and video editing laptop are quad core cpu, a decent amount of ram (8gb or 16gb recommended), a high end gpu (depending on resolution).

CPU - i7 intel (the mobile i5 cpus are dual core cpus with 2 additional threads)

GPU -
1366x768 resolution max settings - Radeon HD 7850m or Geforce GTX 660m or better (30-40fps+)

1920x1080 max settings - Radeon HD 7970 or Geforce GTX 680m or better (25+fps)

EDIT: Geforce GTX 650m is also good for 1366x768 if you don't mind scaling back some settings like antaliasing or play at 1080p and cut back on antialiasing and some details.

---------------------------

Use this chart to help you pick.
(http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html)

Highlight the games you want to play and go from there.

-------------------------

Btw, although Alienware is solid its very overpriced.

Edit: The dell costs $400 more than the cyberpc similar specs.
(http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-m14x-r2/pd.aspx)
(http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer_X6-7450_Gaming_Notebook/)

Heres a laptop that costs almost the same as Alienware but has a better gpu
(http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer_X6-9500_Gaming_Notebook/)

You can buy more ram or an ssd seperately and install it yourself.

Which video editing software should use for professional film editor?

video editing software professionals use image

Imran

I mean which most video editing software is using by professional editors?

Answer
Most professional editors use:

Avid Media Composer
http://avid.com/US/products/media-composer

Final Cut Pro
http://apple.com/finalcutpro

and

Lightworks; semi-free alternative to Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro.
http://lwks.com

Lightworks has been used in the movie industry for more than 20 years. Lightworks also has the fastest workflow in the industry.

Lightworks Pro costs $60/year but you can download a free Lite version from their website.

Lightworks Tutorials - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCD45705BA08852C0

is there any free video editing software professional level but free ?

360

I can't afford premiere or final cut but still I need a professional level video editing software.

Answer
The words professional and free rarely are used in the same sentence to be honest!!

If you use Mac (I presume you do with the Final Cut reference) then iMovie isn't so bad.. and free obviously. In fact it's probably the best of the free video editing tools available on the mac.

If you're really tight on budget then there are obviously ways to use pro software like Final Cut for free *cough* but then I'd be violating the terms of use here for explaining how to do that.

Edit: Maybe have a look at this one?
http://jahshaka.org/About
I've never tried it so can't post a comment about it, but it is free, and will work on Mac too.

From the poster below:
"Also Final cut is worth its weight in gold so why pirate it"
Agreed, FCpro is an amazing piece of software that is definitely worth the money.

What video editing software would work with windows xp pro sp3?

video editing software color correction image

Mario

I need an editing software dor my computer its a dell inspiron 8600 no internal upgrades what so ever. I was thinking sony vegas by i doubt it will work with this so what are some good video editing software that will work.

Answer
There have been two very good freeware editors recently released this year, FileLab and VSDC. Both should work with XP SP3 and your Inspiron.

FileLab is a freeware video editing program for just about all platforms (Mac, PC, etc...). I use it a lot to make YouTube videos. It runs in your browser using a simple plug-in download. It's also available as a free app on Facebook. It has many transition and video effects, very good title editor, and customized color correction to include brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and gamma. Both of these FileLab YouTube tutorials were made with FileLab
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfNts_O1STA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYbAe-mUscs

VSDC is also freeware, but has much more advanced capabilities than FileLab, such as green screen! It's not as obvious or easy to use as FileLab, but did I already mention it has green screen (chroma key), and it's free? Also, it is capable of editing in most most popular video formats and compression schemes including high definition (HD), AVI, H.264, MP4, MKV, MTS, 3GP, WMV, QT, MP3, MPEG2 FLV, SWF. YouTube. Get it now while it's free because eventually this will go payware. And here are two tutorials on using VSDC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luyOn5DdUZs&feature=plcp

What is the best video editing software?

JKL

I am currently searching to buy a video editing software and wanted to know what the best one to buy was.

Answer
Asd someone pointed out, it would help to know your budget and OS. "Best" is a subjective term. It's like asking what the best car is. There is no consensus answer and you will find fanboys of many products swearing what they like is best. Part of what determines what is best for YOU is what exactly you would be using it for. If you are going to post clips of you playing with your dog on Youtube, investing in Avid Media Composer with a Da Vinci Resolve for Color Correction software and hardware controllers would be downright silly. On thre other hand, if you have a 100 million dollar budget and plan on making the next 3d blockbuster, steering you towards iMovie would be just as ridiculous. Since you did not specify OS, I'm going to suggest you start by downloading a trial of something cross-platform:

http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere-elements.html

http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html

Similar programs but the latter is hundreds of dollars more and has more features. Since you may never use these extra features, the former may suit your needs.


There are many other options and I am no way claiming these are the best. For your platform, I would suggest downloading trial versions of other programs as well. Final Cut and Imovie are popular Mac only options and Sony Vegas Studio and Pro are popular Windows options.

If budget is an issue, several of the best editors in the business swear by lightworks (Movies like Hugo, the Departed and the Kings Speech were edited with lightworks) and it is available free:

Should i get more proccesor or ram on my macbook pro?

powerful laptop for video editing image

Kevin J

Im going to be buying a mac for highschool but i also need a powerful laptop for games , video editing etc. . so i can get eiher 2.53 ghz processor with 8 GB RAM or i can get a 2.66 ghz processor with 4 GB RAM . Which will end up being more powerful ?

Answer
Get the better processor. 8 GB of RAM is nice, but you will most likely never use that much RAM unless you like to multitask a whole lot. 4 GB of RAM is still plenty and gives you room to do some multitasking.

Get the better processor since it'll make your computer more powerful. Don't get the 8 GB of RAM since most if it will never be used.

Are gaming laptops good for video editing?

Josh

I'm looking into getting a new laptop, mainly for video editing. Would a gaming laptop such as a "Battalion 101 W170ER Gaming Laptop" work? Is it good for JUST gaming, or does that mean it just has high graphics? I'm not looking into any gaming, just high-end video editing.

Answer
Gaming computers usually have very high specs, and they should work great for video editing, but they're also very expensive! If you're not going to be gaming with it, it's probably overkill. Look into getting something with a powerful CPU, and at least 4GB of RAM , but without the unnecessary gingerbread and price of a computer built for gaming.

Video cards are for calculating and drawing 3D graphics. You don't need a mega good one for editing and playing videos - that is handled by the CPU.

Is there a difference in video quality when transferring tape from a camcorder to PC using Firewire vs. USB 2?

kmcgator

When you transfer a digital 8/hi 8 tape from a camcorder to PC, will the quality of the video on the PC (once transferred) be better if I use Firewire or USB 2.0 (or does it make no difference). I have both so if one is better than the other that is the one I would use. Don't care about speed, just video quality once on the PC.

Thanks.

Answer
Some facts:

If your camcorder allows DV AVI format transfers via USB2.0 (newer models only) then there will be zero difference between using this or DV / IEE1394 / Firewire / i.LINK. However, you may be required to use the manufacturer's software until the popular NLE editing software begins supporting USB2.0 transfers. And if your camcorder or software only allows a USB2.0 transfer in MPEG format then it will be of lower quality than a Firewire transfer.

And contrary to the claim of one poster, Digital 8 via Firewire is a digital transfer, not a capture, since it does both begin and end as digital data. Hi8 being played back through a D8 machine is both a capture and a transfer. The capture is done internally in the D8 machine and then transferred to PC via Firewire.

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.

best laptop for basic video editing image

chloe

what is the best video editing software? i have started making youtube videos but want to improve the quality by using a good editing software but don't want to waste my money on an editing software that wont do a good job. my laptop is not a macbook so i can't use imovie also i don't want to get a software that is overly expensive. it has to do these jobs, basic editing (e.g titles, transitions), slow and fast motion, adding pictures and text into the actual videos themselves (like danisnotonfire&amazingphil) also if they is extra tools that would be good to. thankyou for your help:)

Answer
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, but at the price of $3,000 USD it's probably a bit out of your price range. It's the best, but very expensive and there's probably a steep learning curve. Even Sony Vegas Pro is a bit pricey at something like $600 USD.

I'd suggest Pinnacle Studio 16. It's about $100 USD but it does just about everything you wanted.

What is the best laptop to get/buy to use for video editing from a camcorder?

peach4peac

I am trying to find the best laptop to use for when I want to edit film from my camcorder. I am debating between a Mac book Pro, an Asus K55VD DS71 15.6" or an Asus N76VZ-DS71 17.3" Notebook. I also want to put all of my music on to it and I have a lot of music. Would any of these laptops be good for doing both of these things or is there something else that is better? Thanks!

Answer
I always prefer a pc over a mac but since your main focus is editing media, I would suggest a macbook pro. I can't think of a single, rational person who would pick Windows software over Apple software when it comes to things like media, photo/video editing. The only time the mac is never an option is for basic school work, research and internet browsing.

If 90% of your laptop needs are for video editing, then grab your macbook pro here...if not. stick with pc.

If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Windows Movie Maker should be installed on your computer already.

Go to Start > Programs> Accessories> Entertainment> Windows Movie Maker

Otherwise, check out this list

As for the VOB part of the question, that can be more tricky - many VOB files are basically MPEG files with a different extension, but trying to do a straight rename may cause problems. Check out this tutorial at:

What is a good basic laptop for a university student?

minimum laptop for video editing image

poppytad

I'd only be doing basic stuff like microsoft office, internet browsing and such. Also, my degree might need some heavy video, audio and photo editing so I'd need a laptop that can handle those things and still run at a decent speed while I'm at it.

I'm also on a tight budget so the cheaper the better for me! Thanks!

Answer
There are various websites to get a good pc, but I see with eBay it does not matter when or just what you buy given that they in general contain 1000's from which to select and are also a lttle bit lower priced than in the retail store. You may look for your minimum needs and just what price tag you'd like to pay. Thus find what lowest specification you need and how much you happen to be ready to pay and also filter the outcomes in eBay. You might get a good deal any time of year.

What is a good laptop for multitasking while photo editing?

Chapulin

I want to be able to be on photoshop and youtube without freezing. I have an $800 budget. I know most laptops have 2GB - 4GB ram but many reviews say they have problems with the hardware and all. Which laptop would you recommend for me?

Answer
That's a tough one for $800. You need processing power, 4GB minimum, powerful video card and a 7200rpm hard drive to achieve what you are talking about. Win7 will help alot. Vista is much slower

The best I could do is $899 at Best Buy, but if you wait for a sale, or take advantage of their financing, it might work for you.

Asus G60VX has everything you need. I have last year's generation the Asus G50, which kicks ass in video games and Adobe CS4 Master Suite. It has the same specs as the G60.

what does a laptop need for video editing image

IckleAnn

I currently have a Dell Inspiron 15 and it used to have a battery life of an hour and a half and now has a battery life of under 20 minutes. I've had it for about three years now and when I try to edit videos from my nikon d5100, it gets really slow. My brother says it's because it's too old and can't handle it or something. I was wondering what a good laptop for video editing is. Yes, I want a laptop because a PC is too big for my room and I need it to be portable...(the laptop should also be on the affordable side O______O)

Answer
When editing video RAM becomes a major issue along with having a large amount of hard disk space to use a s a virtual drive. Personally I use a HP DV7 with two I7 processors, 8GB RAM and 2TB disk space. You can probably get away with an 5 and 1TB of disk space, but I would say that you should try for that 8GB RAM, it will make a huge difference in photo and video editing- which make? It doesn't really matter unless you have the money to shell out for Alienware and their speed optimised machines, but that comes at a hefty premium

I like to make AMV's but I feel I'm missing the important things needed or used in making an AMV!!So the question is what video editing software do you use and what is needed or used?only help things!thank you!

Answer
Hi, for editting videos I recommend to buy licensed because are better than the Free. For example I installed Ubuntu Linux and I installed OpenShot from here: http://www.openshotvideo.com/ Open Shot is tottaly Free but hs not powerfull options like Adobe Premiere or Sony Movie Studio. I worked a lot with OpenShot but there are severeral times that the program closes and I lose my hours of work. So I decided to buy Adobe Premiere and Sony Movie Studio, Now I'm happy with both. Here I tell my story with each one:

Adobe Premiere Elements:
First off, I am no Spielberg, Howard, or Scorsese, I just need a good video editor that's more advanced than Windows Movie Maker. My only prior experience involves iMovie which I've used for the past five years as the need arose. I'm not the biggest fan of iMovie, not to mention I don't own a Mac (I was using a public Mac I have access to). I've recently taken on a project which requires me to edit and post video to YouTube, so being able to edit video in the comfort of my home was the driving factor in this purchase, not to mention that I didn't want to purchase another computer and/or switch platforms.

After install, which was very simple, I found PE10 to be intuitive and relatively easy to use though I'm sure if I had come into this without any video editing experience, I would have a different take. It took me about an hour to become comfortable working with it, and I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do. My typical use involves importing AVCHD files, editing the video adding transitions and titles, cutting out some extraneous scenes, adding audio and video fades, and then exporting the video. That's really about all I need at this point, nothing too fancy yet. It's handled what I throw at it easily and flawlessly and renders the 40 minute hd videos I'm creating in about an hour on the machine I'm using.

If I had it to do over, I'd probably take a harder look at Sony Vegas Movie Studio since it seems to have a ton more features (which I don't need yet). It seems to have a steeper learning curve and like I said, my needs are relatively simple right now. Plus I'd rather wait for the next version which will hopefully have 64-bit support.
You can buy Adobe Premiere here:

Sony Creative Software Movie Studio HD Platinum:
Sony Vegas is arguably the best bang for your buck video editing software on the market today. While the learning curve can be a little steep and it has some limitations, overall it's a fantastic package that hits the spot for most amateur video editing endeavors. I've tried a whole bunch of programs and this one seems to be the best value for money - especially once you take the time to learn it properly.

Sony has 4 different versions of the Vegas software suite, ranging from the low end Studio HD to the high end Pro. The HD Platinum version sits somewhere in the middle and offers most of the features that you'd require for a range of different projects. Most users won't require the features offered in the Pro version (though sometimes I wish some of them were available as paid plugins for HD Platinum).

It's got some fantastic features like automatic splitting between video and sound, quick video splitting with the press of a button, lots of effects including the ability to use a 'green screen' effect, easy sound/image fading, text effects, slow motion, credits, drag/drop clips, export to YouTube, layers, etc. It really does have most of the tools that you'll require to create some kick ass movies, quickly and efficiently. It's also got fantastic help and tutorials. Plus there are lots of YouTube tutorials too. Over all, it's a fantastic piece of software for the price which I highly recommend!

Can someone offer insight on a good laptop?

samsung laptop for video editing image

The Disint

I'm looking to buy a new laptop and I haven't used anything but Mac for over three years. I know Toshiba makes a decent laptop but what about these Samsung laptops? What are the top PC brands for laptops these days? I do a lot of video editing (hobby) so I need at least 6GB Memory to handle HD video. I have a 2TB external Hard Drive so the hard drive space on the computer doesn't need to be enormous. Any suggestions and links?
Not looking to spend more than like $800 for a laptop.

Answer
I found some and you can choose any one from these. I would recommend getting you HP Pavilion DV8 but I guess HP aren't making laptops anymore(rumor). Toshiba laptops are okay but the model of most of those looks pale and almost same. I don't have any experience with Samsung Laptop so I have no idea about it. However my friend has some Samsung Netbook and it is working flawless since a year. Asus laptops are #1 selling on most of the countries according to the internet and provided data from the sellers. They also make awesome ones. My wife has Asus Republic Of Gamers laptop and it can handle any games and applications along with multitasking without any lag.

First of I don't want an apple cause they are way to expensive. So I was wondering which laptop is great for video editing and if it helps I'm planning to use adobe premiere and a blue snowball microphone as part of my studio but which laptop will be great for doing this?

I know you dont want to hear this but the answer to your question is honestly a mac book. They are great for editing. Try to invest in one. If not.. The next best alternative could possibly be a samsung laptop or.. Dell.

To make better slideshows you you need more advanced and professioanl but still user friendly software.
I have used a few video editing programs and the easiest one has been DVD Slideshow Builder. Very easy to use with professional features and same sort of layout as Movie Maker however a lot more powerful.

Answer
A program with over 2000 effects, easy to learn and can do things Windows movie Maker could never do. Another program with even more effects and Timeline space also.

Pinnacle Studio 14 HD Ultimate & Sony Vegas Pro 10

Screen Shot - http://asimplelife.ca/nle.html Upgrade your computer to AVCHD specs below and you can run both programs seen on my Web Page on your computer. Just Rejig the search term below in the YouTube search, from the instructions below.

This is not a program that can run on any computer, see below -

Minimum System Requirements

Windows® 7, Windows Vista® (SP2), or Windows XP (SP3)
Intel® Pentium® or AMD Athlon⢠1.8 GHz (2.4 GHz or higher recommended)
-Intel Core⢠2 Duo 2.4 GHz required for AVCHD*
-Intel Core⢠2 Quad 2.66 GHz or Intel Core i7 required for
AVCHD* 1920

DirectX® 9 or 10 compatible graphics card with 64 MB (128 MB or higher recommended)
-256 MB required for HD and AVCHD*
DirectX 9 (or higher) compatible sound card
3.8 GB of disk space
DVD-ROM drive to install software

If interested, links below takes you to the sites, but you can get these two programs for free. Do this by opening a web browser, surfing over to YouTube. Once there, in the search box on that site, enter 'Pinnacle Studio 14' or âSony Vegas Pro 10â. Youâre looking for free download, find a link or video that says that, in the video description, there will be link for a free download. Make sure, before you do this, to make sure your computer can meet or exceed those Specs above, and pay special attention to the AVCHD specs if you have or are going to get a HD camcorder.


A laptop running these Programs, when rendering say a 10 minute Video out, be prepared, render times could leave your laptop useless, while rendering for 4 or 5 days on that file. Besides you cannot upgrade a Laptop this way, so it unlikely these program will run on most Laptops.

Multi webcam split (use one physical webcam in multiple applications... eg. Yahoo and MSN at the same time) playing back AVI video and photo slideshows as your own web cam (fake webcam) and recording/editing/playback the webcam you transmit and view (Yahoo Messenger only).

How can i take separate videos that i recorded and put them into one?

Patrick

Me and my friends were recording some stuff we were doing today after school and we have multiple videos i was wondering if their is a way to take all of the clips and make a big video out of it?

Answer
Yes, video editing software would do that.

Macs come with software called iMovie that can do that. You can purchase iMovie for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) for a small charge.

Perhaps someone else will answer what software Windows users can use. I thought there was a utility called Windows MovieMaker, but I don't know if it's on currently shipping Windows boxes.
