try the trial versions of premiere, MS6, editDV, vegas video ... i prefer vegas video with a OHCI 1394 card, has excellent audio, real time preview ( you can keep editing while you preview), mix different file formats ( QT, dv, mpeg), basic transitions, but it weakness is making stills from video files. ... premiere can take video and render out to series of stills, lots of transitions, but doesn't have much audio ... they all have strength and weakness ... if you try them out you might prefer the window of one over another. : How fast can the GL1 take stills? I keep hearing that you have 6 seconds of audio per picture to give details. Does that mean you can not snap more than 1 ever 6 seconds? : My GL1 is still on order and it is exciting to be getting it. I have not had a new camera since my old 50lb 3 tube monster from the early 80s. What a change. I have been spending the last couple of days setting the computer up. I bumped the memory on the HP 4535 from 64 to 192 and the hard drive from 6gb to 40 gb. Everything seems to work so far. Not bad for someone who has never taken the cover off a computer before. I may be able to call myself a computer geek yet. : Next will be the IEEE1394 card. I have seen universal ones, but I am holding off because so many seem specialized for the software. There are so many choices out their. I know what I want from 1 (I don't care) to 10 (must have): : Still pictures 10 : 16:9 would be nice for the future 3 : Lots of edit transition choices 8 : Audio mixing 9 : Moving titles 5 : DVD (to many formats to figure out) 3 : More than 2 gb editing 10 : Upgradable 4 : Cost-under $400 8 : Any ideas on "Editing software"/"Editing software & IEEE1394" : If you need more computer data, here is what I have: HP 4535, 400mhz, 192 ram, 40g hard.
