Okay, I have been using VirtuaDubMod for a long time now, but I think I'm ready to finally take the jump to a more indepth and more professional video editing suite. VirtualDubMod works great, but as everyone knows, its a linear editing program, it really cant put together good movies; just cut up existing videos. However, I am having trouble finding a good suite. I have tried both Adobe Premiere and Pinnacle Studio and I feel like they are missing so much that VirtualDubMod offers. So I am wondering if there are any video editing suites out there that suite my needs...
- I use DGIndex/DGDecode/DGBob to de-interlace my videos. I do match videos for high level fighting game tournament play; and many of our games are 60fps. However, my capture card records 29.97fps interlaced MPEG-2. So I use DG to de-interlace my videos, and then I combine all that with an AviSynth script to load it all together into an .AVS file. Then I open and edit the AVS video in VirtualDubMod
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGBob.dll")
video=mpeg2source("z:\Composite 001.d2v")
audio=WAVSource("z:\Composite 001.wav")
audiodub(video,audio)
DGBob(1,1)Doing this, all my videos are progressive and 59.94fps; perfect for high level frame counting video game players. Are there any video editing suites out there that work with AviSynth so that I can continue doing this?
- FILTERING! Seriously! VDM let me add filters I really needed: cropping, resizing, padding, brightness/contrast editing etc... The suites I have seen offer very limited cropping (innacurate, done by line dragging), and seem to over no resizing or padding options at all! Yes, they offer cool effects like transitions and stuff, but thats really just an afterthought.
So basically, I am looking for a video suite that works just like VirtualDubMod, but lets me edit a series of videos into a project, instead of only cutting one video at a time. Does a program like this exist? I also like that VDM is extremely light weight. Programs like Premiere and Studio are heavy and slog my computer to a crawl.
