Well I've decided I'm going to stick with premiere and was wondering which plugins everyone uses / recommends. I will be editing HDV footage from a Canon XA H1.

So far on my list of future purchases...

- Magic Bullet Editors / Suite v2

- Steadymove (or some sort of image stabilizer program and suggestions?)

What else would you recommend?

Magic Bullet Editors is no longer. It is Magic Bullet Looks now. New version.

Steady Move does not work with CS3. Hopefully they are working on a new version.

Search the forum for "Mercalli" It's a plug-in that reduces/eliminates shake, etc. It's (much) cheaper than SteadyMove. I've downloaded it but haven't had ime to tinker with it. Also see their website here...
