I've been on this site for months, but never been involved in any fan edits or anything like that. I have no idea how to do it, or how you guys do it. I've made my own movies and edited them, and I'm pretty good at it, but I have no idea how to make a new edit of a film. What kind of programs do I use? Software? Kind of computer? PRICE? Basic stuff like that.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

My Guide. It's a sticky post in this area of the forum.

Definitely check out ADigitalMan's guide. I can swear buy its usefulness.

Thanks, ADM. Don't have time to look through it all right now, but I'll definately read that in depth.

If starting out, buy a refurbished or second hand mac, it really is a lot more straightforward for doing this type of stuff. If you can get one of the intel imacs they are extremely powerful for the cash and allow you to run programs like finalcutpro and shake which you won't find on other platforms.

If going the PC route and cash is the main concern, pick up a cheap PC and install ubuntu linux and download cinelerra http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3
it can do almost everything the big expensive programs can and is completely free as is ubuntu.

So your only cost then is the hardware itself.

Otherwise you can go Windows and check out doom9.org and the guide mentioned above.

Adigitalman's method is the one I used. Womble is a great tool for simple cut/paste type editing.

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
