My own <br />research on editing software dates back to 1995. Since then, I have used many <br />different non-linear editing systems, including Avid, Premier, and Media 100. Final Cut <br />Pro software is by far the best non-linear editing system available for the price. Less <br />expensive editing packages, such as Casablanca, or other home video editing <br />software, are not considered as professional, and have much less features and <br />flexibility. The Final Cut Pro software was designed to encapsulate all the best features <br />found in most other editing software, including “Click and Drag” functionality, which <br />allows the producer to add a shot to a program by just dragging the video clip on to a <br />timeline. Final Cut Pro was built to perform all major tasks required for video, including <br />adding special effects, and converting to compressed video for the Web. Other <br />features include 99 layers of video and audio, color correction, audio editing, and audio <br />voice-overs. <br /> <br />The DVD Studio Pro is DVD Burning software made to work with the G4 and Final Cut <br />Pro. It is capable of creating custom professional DVD’s. It includes menu creation, <br />web links, and multiple audio tracks. <br /> <br />Adobe Photoshop Elements is an inexpensive tool for creating professional titles and <br />graphics. Photoshop is considered the standard, and most other software is designed <br />to handle Photoshop documents, including video, web page design, and PowerPoint <br />presentations, even electronic bulletin board displays. <br /> <br /> <br />Additional Benefits <br />
