Software Advice

[Niresangwa]

First off, full disclosure...

I'm actually looking for advice on video editing software.

Stay with me here folks...

As part of some photography packages I want to include web media, such as a slide show of the shoot that can be used on Facebook etc, much the same way HS Seniors like to have web-ready pictures for their profiles.

Now, I know FB can handle large file sizes (videos can be over 1GB on initial upload and up to 20 minutes), so I'm all set with how I want to apply this...

However, the only video software I have currently is Windows Moviemaker, and while it works just fine for adding the pictures and allowing me to control fades, music etc, the whole thing ends up looking...well...Windows-y for want of a better word.

I realise that this is a photography forum, however, I'm hoping that in your real lives, some of you may be au fait with this field. I imagine that if you use PS, you may use other types of media production software also...

Thanks in advance!

Go with animoto.com, great results fast with minimal effort. Also integrates with smugmug. A little pricey for pro license, but with all the time saved, it's worth it if you want to offer that type of product. Def doesn't look windowsy!
