Editing JVC on a PC
 

I was hoping someone could tell me if the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 is a good software to use for editing footage from a JVC GY HD100U on a PC. I have the P.C. setup and would like to stay with that. I have been teaching myself every step of the way and it has been a long process and I realize I am about to hit a wall hard with editing and I am trying to make this as painless as possible both with the cost and the learning curve. Please help. Suzanne

Have you already purchased premiere? If not, the most user friendly/inexpensive software is Vegas. Works great with JVC.

Hello
I agree 100% with Brian.

I have the 110
and vegas works like a charm for me.
Using tape or the Dr hd100/M2t files.

Just my opinion

I use Adobe PPro2 and Aspect HD from CineForm. I'm very happy with this set up.

Suzanne,

Edius has presets for the hd100. Rocksolid platform. Using it for corporatework and TVCs. DVDs and theatrical projection.
We were using premiere for more than 10 years. Abandoned them since they introduced the pro. It just became clunky and too heavy for our systems.
We still use their After effects, photoshop and encore products though.

We have 5 edit workstations running Edius in our facility.

I'm not sure where Premiere ranks...

But, the top 2 natural editing platforms for the JVC hdv format on the PC would be (IMO) :

1) Grass Valley's Edius
2) Avid's Liquid

Premiere
 

Hi guys, I work in premiere pro 2.0 native editing m2t, but cineform???????
No is a good idea. JVC settings for premiere pro 2.0 work editing a m2t files directly.
Better image quality.

Bull was edited with Premiere Pro and Cineform.

I have not purchased the software yet I wanted to get some suggestions from people who have actually used the camera and done some editing on the PC first. I called my JVC rep and he really had no answers for me. I was very happy to find this site and I really appreciate all of you taking the time to share your experience and knowledge with me, I think it's great. I will look into these options that have been mentioned.

Vegas Pro8 and Cineform

I use Premiere Pro CS3 and Cineform Aspect HD. Using the native HDV preset doesn't work very well even on a dual core 2.4

Hey Bill
 

hows it going, it's Cineform Neo HDV for Vegas 8 isn't it? Did they iron out the wrinkles using Cineform and Vegas?
One can't discount at the moment that Avid Liquid supports 50p/60p, even though I'm a Vegas man. FCP also now supports 50/60p.
Though Suzanne,for anything 24/25/30p, Vegas is a solid solution and well priced .
Good Luck

Adam

Vegas It Is
 

I have taken a look at the Vegas software and I do think that is where I will start. Thank you. I am sure once I get started I will have several more questions so get ready.... I look forward to the day I might actually have some answers.

Does Edius not work with MS Vista?
 

Guys,
I installed the giveaway copy of edius broadcast that i got with my hd 250 and it will not work on my MS windows vista operating system. Am i doing something wrong or is it only for windows XP or is there a patch.
Thanks,
Mark
