Video Editing

What is a good program to do video editing? The files are from a Canon SLR

If you want to do it cheaply, a lot of people like Sony Vegas. I know three people at my work who use it and like it.

If you want something with more features and that is a more professional oriented program (which you probably dont need since you're even asking this question) then you can go with Sony Vegas Pro.

Try adobe premiere elements which is the consumer version of premiere. Great program.

If on a Mac, Final Cut Express, and if you have the funds Final Cut Pro. I used to teach Broadcasting and spent a few years video editing. FCP was by far my favorite. If PC, ^^ they have you covered.

Try to get an older version. I haven't used the new FC, but a lot of people have complained about it, and many of the pros are sticking with the old version. Apparently, the new one lost a lot of functionality, and then, to make things even worse, it's not backwards compatible.

I should also mention, I use iMovie HD if I'm doing simple editing, and FCE when I'm doing something more complicated.

Final Cut Pro X is basically a beefier iMovie. If you are looking to do stuff for YouTube, it's pretty much perfect. If you want to do a feature film like True Grit or something, you'll probably want Final Cut Pro 7. I use Final Cut Pro X and I like it, but I don't do anything too elaborate.
