Software for video editing, compatible with Canon 550d?

Rachael

Hello, I wouldn't usually ask this, and I feel kind of silly. But I recently bought myself a Canon550d, and the videos are beautiful quality, etc.. I assume that this question could also be applied for other Canon's that use video, but I cannot seem to edit them. I can't put them into any programmes as they're not "supported file types". Does anyone know of a solution, or can tell me what they use? Maybe I need to do something different on my actual camera? I just find it hard to believe that the cameras videos wouldn't be compatible with both iMovie and Windows Movie Maker, aaaaah, help? :)

I need a good program to edit video from my canon 550d, that WONT CONVERT THE FILES!! would adobe premiere elements be good for this?

Answer
Virtually any software is going to convert the files into it's native format to do any editing.

What you need to look for is the ability to make the output convert pack to the original format. This should be able to be done in the settings of the program.
