    PC Video Editing (Vlogging/WoW/Other?)

    I'm trying to find a good video editing program for the PC (Everyone has been telling me to get Final Cut Pro :/ but I don't have a Mac and doubt I will for a while), something that will allow me to render the final product in HD whether it's things from the real world I'm recording for Youtube ventures I'd like to do or recording things from WoW etc.

    Took a look at Sony Vegas but being more of a novice than anything else right now it seemed a bit daunting; however if that ends up being my best choice, a little learning never hurt me.

    Buy a book or go to some tutorial site about Sony Vegas, one of the best ones

    Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere Elements, Magix Movie Maker and Pinnacle Studio are the options for enthusiast video editing on Windows. Magix Movie Maker is probably easiest to use, Sony Vegas gives most options for tweaking. And Premiere has slowest UI.
    Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
    Trolling should be.

    Are there any Pros about using Adobe Pr?

    If you're familiar with other Adobe programs, it's easier to learn. Or if you want to get familiar with other Adobe programs. If answer to both is no, then I'd recommend Vegas.

    Well, if your a newbie, Final Cut is not the program for you :P

    I'd recommend Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas.

    Sony Vegas is definately a very good way to start out. Very userfriendly with a drag/drop interface, whereas Premiere required a bit more insight into the program. But if you wanna shoot big and do some crazy all-out editting, Premiere/After Effects combination ROFLstomp any competition imho.

    There are TONS and TONS of learning resources for adobe products. I am currently using Premier and After Effects (for 3D animated titles) and I am getting good results.

    For advanced stuff, let's say for example animated text, AfterEffects is the way to go. Even for professionals. It's also priced accordinly and way out of reach of average WoW video dabblers.

    After Effects aside, because outside of WoW videos I doubt I'll have to much use for that (for the time being).

    Out of Pinnacle Studio - Sony Vegas - and Adobe Premier which would be the toughest to pick up on. (User Friendly)
