What is the best film editing software to buy?

I am looking for a low price film editing software, and was wondering which one people can recommend.


Thanks|||It depends on what operating system you have. If you've got a mac (or access to one) try iMovie. It's really simple and easy to learn. Once you get to know all the ins and outs, you can put together a very nice looking video. Just stay away from the really cheesy transitions.





If you're going to buy something like Adobe or Final Cut, check out the student discounts they have. If you or someone you know is a student or teacher at a qualifying school, you can get Adobe Premier Elements for only $69. There are fewer features than the Pro version of Premier, but it definitely has everything you need as a beginner.





I have never met a pro who uses linux programs to edit.|||Why buy when you can get what the professionals use for free Download Linux it is what the Movie makers use for their block buster Movies.





check out the links below|||if it's personal use, or some professional Sony Vegas Pro 8 is a great program, bad thing is that it's not exactly what I would call "low price"... well i wouldn't say it's any where near a low price program actually most people that have it get it through pirating it the price for it right off the site is US$549.95, so here's some links that should help





http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ for editing sounds music etc.


http://www.jahshaka.org/ have had several people recommend it.


try those see if they work for you if not good luck with finding one for you|||Hmm, best and low price don't go well together. I'd say Adobe Premiere Elements is a good compromise if you want low cost.
