Hello all,
Currently I use a three year old Kodak LS-420 to capture video clips.

The files are .mov files.

I then transfer them over to .mpeg files and then to .swf files using some
shareware products.

I'm happy the results since the .swf files are smaller than the .mov files
and can be read by many people.

Most of these clips are 180 degree pans since I am a realtor.

What are some good suggestions of shareware for editing?

For example:

1. splicing one clip to another.

2. or fixing the contrast or color saturation.

Ideally if I took a 10 second shot of the living room with a pan and then
another 8 second clip of the kitchen and then another 11 second clip of the
garage - I would need some sort of software to accomplish a seamless clip of
all three rooms.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated with regards to any shareware
software from Tucows, etc.. that can do this job.

Thank you.

Eddy

Paint Shop Pro does not do video. You might get some suggestions by
browsing comp.graphics.animation or other pertinent groups before
asking a newbie question there. Google Groups can help you find the
active groups.

If the users is using Xp then there is MS movie maker free with it (I Think
you now have to download from Microsoft) This Produces all kinds of
compressed WMV, good for the web but if you want to place on a CD/DVD for
use in a external player you have to save as DV-avi and do the conversion in
Nero or such

I use "Showbiz" by ArcSoft which came bundled with my HP Pavilion
computer.  It's slow but it will capture(with appropriate hardware), edit,
compose(splice), and burn DVDs or video CDs with good quality.  I've never
looked to see what it costs elsewhere.   GL  Ben
