I'm currently using Adobe Premiere Elements. I can generally finish editing, including audio cleanup, transitions, and titles, in 2-3 hours. If I started out with a loose storyboard and was able to pick my shots from the beginning, it takes less time. If I have a mass of footage to hunt through looking for things to use, it takes much more. Our goal has been to have a 5-minute post every week. Because both I and my partner work day jobs (college professor and engineer at Motorola) and we're both engaged actively in research (she has a research profile to maintain and I'm working on my Ph.D), it really isn't possible for us to hope for more than a weekly video post. > The Adobe Premiere help files are pretty good, but I'm still missing alot of > the power of the program.

What specific problems are you having? Maybe I can help. > 1. VlogDiva - I would like to post weekly there.

Make a makeshift prompter or otherwise hold up cue cards. I can't tell you how many times I've had everything in my head, ready to go, and then I press record and blow the whole thing. -- Rhett. --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/ Yahoo!
