Audio AND videoeditting

Post by jfrost »

I want to buy a program I can use for both video AND audioeditting. I can see, that VideoStudio 10 also has audioeditting, but can it be used without making a video and only an audio-file?

Welcome to the forums Jfrost,

VS does not dust, or do windows, sorry..;)

Seriously you can use it to insert audio clips, and the produce another audio clip. However you only have 2 tracks that you can insert audio to, absent of the audio in video files. I guess you could use the 6 overlay and 1 main video tracks and just create a sound file from all those videos.

My opinion and advise would be to, like many of us do, use the free (and they should charge for it) program AUDACITY. This is one great audio editing application. Do not limit yourself or your abilities with the "one program for all" approach.

One thing that I started learning that there is no such program that is worthwhile. Many of us will use numerous programs, applications, utilities throughout the process of video editing. We use a program to capture, maybe a second one to edit, another to clean up audio, another to create some special graphics, one to author flash effects, then yet another to build DVD menus, then finally another to burn the DVD.

So just don't limit your creative ability by thinking that there needs to be only one program. That's like having one icon on your desktop that can do all your computing...

Thank you very much, vidoman. I will follow your advice and try AUDACITY or a similar program.
