I've been looking for a new video editor and I ran across the AVS VideoEditor bundle with a CE2K look & work alike. It's only $40 bucks.

.

I read a review somewhere that said you can use the CE2K help file and examples. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet it might be great. I wonder where they got the code?

It does look cool but I think it may be a bit sluggish. It may not be CE code. It seems to work ok though and it's free with a $40 video editor or $20 bucks depending on how you look at it.

It did not install correctly on 98 but no problems on xp so far. The editor seems to work but there's no multitrack recording (as expected) only mixing. I got so sidetracked I almost forgot to check out the video editor.

Thank you, this may be just what I was looking for to do some very, very basic video work.

Thanks for the link, I checked out the demo - it is very basic and really is a - post the vid clips together app made easy via drag and drop – I think for video the Vegas home studio is more complete in this price range.

However the addition of the audio editor makes it an interesting alternative to some wave editing proggys, I think the strength of the bundle is in the wave program for those on a budget.

Sure. I still haven't spent time with the video editor.

The audio editor despite not being as snappy or comming with as many plugins as CE is pound for pound Cool Edit. It even has VST support. What about that?

Direct x support yes, vst I dont think it does when I checked it - also noticed 24 bit waves were not displaying in the wave window, I assume it supports 24 bit - that was when I uninstalled it as I dont need a wave editor - more interested in the video aspects, but it was too basic for its own good - I can see a market for it though within places like snapfiles.com etc.

Under the DirectX menu is/was a VST item that listed a bunch of my VSTs. I deleted it along with the video editor or I would look. I'm still looking for a video editor that works for about $100. Vegas is out of my price range. I've seen a lot of stuff and nothing makes me happy.

I thought it was interesting, expecally now that Audition is $300, that somebody cloned CE2K and made a pretty nice job of it despite being a limited version. It still has me puzzled. Maybe it really is a CE2K-Lite hangover from an old agreement or something like that.

Thanks for the tip I found Sony Vegas Movie Studio + DVD for about $80. I'm hopeful again.

It’s possible to pick up Vegas Movie Studio + DVD Platinum edition for $109 (it should discount when you go to purchase – its marked up at $129)

Vegas studio has more than adequate video editing power, and will capture live from firewire equipped computers and camcorders – tones of editable effects.

Four channels for audio and video – in reality you only need two video channels for projects.

You could edit the audio externally in a wave editor, or trim with the video in the trimmer (if the audio on the camcorder is any good)

For web projects and more than basic editing, it’s the best option I have seen so far for $100

Vegas Movie Studio 6 is what you need I think

OK someone remind me to read all the way to the bottom of a short thread before posting. Well anyways this is a great piece of software, especially for anyone who appreciates how audio editors work.

I'd just like someone to put Cool Edit's brainwave effect & the preset "hell's chorus" into a vst and I'd be pretty happy.

They had to made a deal with Syntrillium to use a version... Let's call it CE-SE. Limited but still CE. I can't believe that somebody would or could clone CE that closely. The more I think about it that's got to be it. I'm intrigued by the puzzle. I've got Audition so it's not for me but someone might think that's a fair price to pay for what it does. The next stop is $300.

Thanks for the links but I think I'm sold on Vegas Home. The reviews are outstanding. I did try both of them and they almost but didn't work for me, for different reasons. I'm tired of screwing with it and it looks like $80 will save me from the nice young men in their clean white coats.. Thanks

Cool Edit 2000 Clone $40!
