What software is best for making/editing SL Movies? What do you use?

I use windows movie maker because its free but I prefer using Ulead Video Studio because of the multiple effects that they have here

Thanks Rinaz! Luckily I have that already installed. Didn't know it would be of any use outside of making DVD's

I use a USB 2.0 Video Capture device, which also allows me to capture to a simple VHS Recorder. I get 30 FPS, no dropped frames. Then it lets me record onto the PC whatever I've just taped.

Why would I do it this way? Simple!! The more stuff running on your PC/Mac, the more likely it's gonna bog down & start lagging on SL. It keeps all the computer resources free for SL to operate.

When I record back to the PC, I have the options of several video formats, mostly I stick to MPEG or Quicktime. And I can take that video & record it back to a much smaller size, perfect for uploading/downloading.

For final editing I use a combo of Adobe Premiere & After Effects. Had Combustion 2 to "play with" but it's not as user-friendly as the other two.

I had to give up on my last "tour of SL" video since I got tired of sorting through 3 hours of video!! Gotta plan better next time. Heh, So much to see!!

I never really looked into it, but this thread and the Bells and Spurs video got me interested.
Is there an easy way to record to a 2nd PC, using my 2nd video out, or my 1st with a splitter or something?

Awesome... I do something similar. I use a video capture device on a PC to send the video via S-Video into a Mac. Then I use iMovie to edit, which while limited, is really easy to use.

I've found with Fraps on my high end PC I get a 10-15% frame rate drop and on a lower end PC a 30% frame rate drop. This might not be a big deal, depending on what your doing.

This uses a PC and a Mac but it's the same idea... Making One Minute Machinma.

I am using BB Flashback to record and export and just tried Windows Movie Maker to edit which works beautifully together!

I capture with fraps - I have a very nice machine, so 30fps is no problem
Editing I will use Windows Movie Maker if I am in a hurry, premier if I have time.
