Hi All,
Thanks for all your tips.
FCE still seems to be limited to DV sizes (PAL, NTSC, etc.). Which
means that I get horrible compression problems.
iMovie also seems to have the same compression issues.
I am not sure how to use QT, nothing online really seems to explain
it.
Are there any really comprehensive tutorials online?
Cheers guys
Chris

Chris,
I'd recommend Quicktime Pro.
Once you pay the US$30 and enter your QT Pro Serial number, some
impressive new capabilities are enabled in Quicktime Player which
include the option of copying and pasting in multiple tracks of audio
and video to appear side-by-side or picture-in-picture with respect
to each other and at any resolution and frame rate you wish without
re-compression if you so desire.
I use it regularly with screen recordings that have been captured at
1024x768 with the Motion-JPEG codec at 5 frames per second alongside
talking head video footage running at 25 fps at 320x240 resolution
using the H.264 codec with text or graphics tracks superimposed on
top or alongside. It is as easy as copying the new track and then
"adding" (rather than pasting) it on top of the first, then calling
up the properties dialog (command-J), clicking on the appropriate
video track and then the "visual settings" tab and changing the
coordinates of the selected video track to move and re-size it.
The final movie can end up with multiple tracks running at different
frame rates and using totally different codecs and thus avoid re-
compression and the generational quality losses that would normally
occur.

Hi Guys,
I need to do some video editing but have been running into a lot of
problems.
I can't use iMovie (06 or 08) because it compresses my screencap
footage so badly that it is illegible.
My problem is that I need to include both footage from a camera and
footage taken from iShowU.
Does anyone know what software I should be using that isn't going to
cost me an absolute fortune (such as Final Cut Pro)?
