Okay, I give up: Help! (FFXI people)

Trying to edit the video of the 4-2 CoP fight is much, much harder than the fight itself. I've been beating at various programs for two hours, and I finally made a little progress with one... but it will only save in some odd format that only it can use, so it turns out to be useless!

Please tell me what video editing programs you use? Especially if you have something you like that's free?

I have a great song to use and I know just how I want to edit the videos (use a chunk from here and a chunk from there with the song in the background). It shouldn't be this hard! But for tonight I give up. It's late and I haven't even had dinner (and I promised myself I'd be better about eating!) so enough of this video. For now.

Oh, by the way, we beat the fight. I stuck my notes on it n my CTY journal.

I use Adobe Premiere to do editing and music mixing. It's not free, but there may still be a 30 day trial version on the site. Speak with Sylf about what he used and where he got it.

If you're happy with your editing and mixing, but are unhappy with the default format your program outputs, use virtualdub to convert from one format to the other.

For more comprehensive details on using virtualdub, look in my cty journal about a page or two back for a loooooong post to Sylf.

Must sleep. Thanks again, grumpy-drk. ;3

I'll talk to you about this in-game, since I'm really tired and... ah... have other reasons for doing so. ^^;

Woo! Thanks for the info, uber-tank silly Niala-kitty!
