Analysis of 3 Video Editing Software

Considering the three video editing softwares: Adobe Premier Pro, Roxio Videowave Pro & WinDVD Creator. I identified, Adobe Premier seems to be an extremely productive and advanced program.. I have only had interaction with Roxio and WinDVD and therefore based upon my research, would like to witness how much more effective Adobe is. I’ve used WinDVD and Roxio for different personal projects such as creating personal still-picture videos compiled of personal pictures; creating stil-image videos for religious events as well as short video-clip videos; developing videos that advertise events and organizations using both still pictures and video clips. All of these projects were built using two of the three applications above. On both I was not really able to manipulate the color nor audio control much. The programs did offer the basic special effects, transitionally, and offer the possibility of exporting to a DVD or CD. Due to these basic editing abilities, I classified both of these editing programs as having great weaknesses. I’d like to explore Adobe as I seek to expose my students to the abilities to create digitial portfolios and storyboards to present their learnings and research. Having GT students gives me the ability to extend their products for formative assessments to digitial products.
