All editing is done in Final Cut Express HD. This program costs very little in relation to what it is capable of. DV, HDV, realtime effects etc.
The latest update which gives support for keyframeable effects, amongst others, makes it almost unbeatable.
Conversion of different image- or movie-formats for editing import or for delivery I use Quicktime PRO.
Even compression of Windows Media is done in Quicktime PRO.
Moving texts, effects, titles and animated backgrounds or other two-dimensional objects is animated in LiveType for later import to Final Cut Express HD.
Some movement, ever so little can do wonders for most videos.
A video production is not complete without music. Soundtrack let's me build a soundtrack fast end easy with very good results.
With a loop-library reaching just about 10 Gb there are sounds and styles for most productions.
In need of special compositions I can truly recommend Musicano Music.
