ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I used to work on pc with adobe prem ele 7. I have a video booth company which operates from Ireland. I have edited a wedding on i movie and loved the themes and the ability to add themed and dissolve for e.g transitions. Also it was easy to add funky titles to my project. The problem is the loss of quality to titles and clips e.t.c when played back on a tv. ( no problem with adobe- just that the titles etc look rubbish compared to imovie- and im sure fce4) I deal with around 150 clips ranging from 15 - 45 secs they just need to be trimmed have scene markers transitions and titles then burned to disc.
My FCE4 turned up yesterday but unfortunately not the tutorial book I ordered with it, so im just wandering if you can put my mind at rest.....
i understand that FCE4 is more of a precision editing tool but has it set titles themes etc.
I imported from a usb this morning some clips from the video booth into FCE4 that was grand the problem is they are all muddled up ie the end of the night is at the start and the start of the night is at the end. In adobe you could select " oldest first " and it would re order the clips for you. ( the video booth kind of tells a story of the reception side of the wedding and also acts as interactive guestbook so its important that the finished dvd is in the order that the messages are left
I guess that the tutorial book ( and some from izzyvideo - which is still downloading due to my cacky irish internet speeds) will help but guess im just asking the pros out there if FCE4 will make my life easier for what i want to do or am I better off with adobe prem ele7
Hope all makes sense and I have had great help on this discussion site before so many thanks
