what is the best or top rated video editing software?

Adobe Premiere (PC & Mac)
Apple Final Cut Pro (Mac)

I use Mac, but I prefer to use Adobe Premiere because it is cross-platform.

I like virtualdub. It's free. Not that good in edit. You can just cut and paste sections, and apply filters. There's no transitions, you can't add words, splicing audio is difficult as to be near impossible. But it does have direct stream copy. Which means your video do not need to be decompressed and recompressed, causing loss of quality.

I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5 for a year and just months ago made the jump to CS 5.5. Overall I loved the features of the editing software. Make sure you have a 64-bit operating system for smooth editing operations. Then just make sure you have met the system requirements.

I've never used older version than CS 5.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5
Adobe After Effect CS 5

both are great combination..

if u r looking for easy to understand program, i will suggest corel video studio

any recommendation for good, free video editing software?

err.... windows movie maker ? lol

Sony Vegas pretty cool too xD

nobody using PowerDirector ?

Sony Vegas, used to make professional video!

Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas..

best is one thing, price is another.

even Sony Vegas has many editions, and lousy thing about Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum that I'm using is that it doesn't max out all your processor cores when encoding the video, which IMO sucks big time.

i'm using Cyberlink Power Director. It's good but it won't work well if your PC is a noob one. hehe

also recommended, Adobe After Effects, Corel and Sony Vegas

I am using premiere pro 5.5 too. what desktop requirement u using, cz i am currenlty using laptop i5 and it is freaking scary that it is constantly crash and have problem. what is your suggestion for desktop customization?

Constantly crashing? How come? I'm using laptop as well. Asus with i5 2450m 2.5ghz turbo boost to 2.9ghz, 6GB RAM, Nvidia 630m, 500gb hdd. Windows 7 that time. Now running 8.

But mine was running just fine n reliable. I know it's scary if it's vibrantly crashing, you could lose your work! Have you updated both Windows n Premiere Pro? Latest updates ensures stability for both OS n the program.

I don't have a desktop.

I am using premiere and after effect video editor.

So far so good )

It seems that my laptop spec is even better than urs! = =''

I got no idea, my editing was short film and wedding actual day. it just so happen that when in the midst of urgency, then it got hang and crashed. using cs 5.5. Did you use any specific method to divide ur hdd or jz anythg that you did? is ur playback smooth?

any software for easy learning?

I suggest power director. Its more friendly and easy to use. You just need to find the serial number to crack it. Plus, you can make a vid like a pro!

For video editing, I would say Adobe Premiere and iMovie.

For visual effect editing, I'll go with After Effects.

Hmm, I'll also using the After Effects. But, I don't have Apple product so I can't use the iMovie

After Effect CS6 and Sony Vegas is a good combination of editing software.
