Hello… new here…
Posted by Juan karlo De guzman on October 11, 2006 at 3:20 pmBefore i am using Ulead MediaStudio Pro 7. Whatls up with version 8? Does it support multipe camera angles? What kind of video editor to use? I wanted to try Avid or Edius (canopus). But what version? Help. Is it right to use it and is it worth it?

First of all, welcome aboard! Moo!
Second, I doubt many of us on these forums have much user experience with Ulead Media Studio Pro. I’ve dabbled with it, but that was back in the Media Studio 5 days. I’ve heard it’s come a long ways, but I hated it then…I figure my feelings would be the same now. Not to diss it, just giving you warning that it’s not real heavily used, so forgive us if a hundred of us don’t jump in with expert opinions and advice on “what’s up” with MS 8, etc.
Third, I haven’t used Edius, so I can’t advise you on it. This is an AVID board, you know! 🙂 I’ve heard great things about it, but never had the chance to “drive” it.
Fourth, your request on what NLE couldn’t possibly be more vague! What kind of projects are you going to be working with? What formats? For professional use (aka, “Make money”) or for home (personal) use? What kind of money are you looking to spend on it?
Honestly, the best way to get the answers to your question of “What NLE do I buy?” is to go out an download demo’s of the products you’re interested in, or, in the case of Avid, anyway, find your nearest reseller (dealer) and arrange a demo. You seem as though you might be a bit on the new side–if you’re not, my apologies–so if you go with Avid, Avid Liquid or Xpress Pro will probably be the products you will want to go with. Dealers can be found here: https://www.avid.com/forms/locator.asp
Information on Avid’s NLE products can be found here (I recommend starting out with the Xpress and Liquid Family pages): https://www.avid.com/products/video/editing-finishing.asp
Information on Ulead’s Media Studio Pro 8 can be found here: https://www.ulead.com/msp/runme.htm
New features for MS Pro 8 can be found here (though I didn’t see anything about Multicam): https://www.ulead.com/msp/new.htm
Info on Edius can be found here: https://www.canopus.com/products/nlesystems.php
There…I got you a bunch of links to get you started on research. I’m done holding your hand…it’s up to you to get going on your homework and see what system is best for you! 🙂
Good luck.
