MOV video editing software
Posted: Sat Dec 08, 2007 6:06 pm
My current camera outputs MOV files (though the manual says it outputs MPEG, it doesn't). At high resolution, only 20 seconds at a time (yuck). So I have clips that I need to stitch together.
Therefore, I have a need to edit MOV files -- I think.
I used RAD Video Tools (donateware) to concatenate three MOVs and convert them to AVI, which while bloating (100MiB of MOV data) -> (1.3GiB AVI data), at least let me import them into (bleck) Windoze Move Maker, which let me add a title and save it to WMV @ 16MiB, a more reasonable size.
However, I couldn't discover how to do any kind of real editing of the AVI in WMM, like muting sections of audio.
Without devoting yet another ten hours, is there a recommended app or apps to allow me to edit MOVs (including concatenation) and convert to MPEG, or convert to AVI/MPEG and do editing there?
Do I want QT Pro? It's cheap enough, but can it do what I want?
