Mac os x 10.7 free download - Course For Mac OS X 10.7 101 - Core Lion, R for Mac OS X, Apple Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 Supplemental Update, and many more programs. Collage Maker & Pic Editor.
Hello all, I would like to start with home video editing on my iMac but I cant find that many programs that runs on OSX. Im after something a bit better than imovie, and if possible a little cheaper then Final Cut Pro X. I do like the options Adobe Premiere Elements 10 offers but I have been reading some horrible reviews about it.
Things I would like are: Easy operation, stable on OSX Mountain Lion, quick rendering, direcly burn from the program and being able to burn HD content to DVD (like adobe offers). It would also be nice to be able to import m2ts files from disk instead of directly from camera because I have some old movies saved on harddisk. Are there any alternatives or are Adobe Premiere Elements and FCP X the only real options? Kind regards, Alex. Thanks fo your reply. In the end I wouldnt mind spend the extra money to get FCPX or any other program if it suits my needs, but if im correct FCPX doesnt have the option to burn HD movies to DVD and import m2ts files from other sources than the camera itself like Premiere has am I right? How is Premiere working out for you on the MAC?
Is it stable and is the rendering time okay compared to FCPX? What would you recommend for a beginner? I'm just one of those ocassional movie makers so so easy operation is importent to me. Of course I can just try out the trials of both but I just hope to be on the right track right away. Kind regards, Alex. Thanks fo your reply.

Kind regards, Alex. Click to expand.I use ClipWrap to transcode m2ts files to a format FCPX can use and it takes a few seconds to a minute to do so, depending on the size of the file.
Premiere works great for me and it's nice to be able to have more than one editing app as they both have their pros and cons. The rendering time is about the same.
Either program is okay for a beginner as long as you read up a little online. Maybe some free tutorials. Though when I first started I bought several tutorial books on both apps. It might not be all that necessary to know the bells and whistles of the apps, but when you know what your program can do for you, it makes editing a lot more fun. More about ML and Premiere Elements 10 No wonder everyone thinks Adobe Premiere Elements 10 works so poorly with Mountain Lion. The specifications info indicates that it's not compatible.
Too bad in more ways than one: Today only (8/14/12), B&H Photo is selling a bundle of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and Photoshop 10 for $69.95, plus free shipping. Of course, this offer is probably being made because of the compatibility issue. I'm guessing/hoping, then, that they'll come up with a new version for ML, even though we won't see that price again. Good luck with whatever you choose.
(And thanks to the reader who recommended the two other programs-helps me too.). I just seen your video 'The Shot'. Sorry to say we done those type of video or short films in the 60s. Basically what i'm saying is you can have the best equipment in the world or talent, but one can kill a video by editing and a few other things. We as a society want better editing software. But we dont ask ourself what do we actually need. Final Cut Pro 7 is a fine editing software.
FCP X is a new format which over the years will lead us to just talking and our software will edit. Hands will become unemployed. That is the future. As long as you are happy with your software fine.
