Howdy folks!
I have a couple quick questions here for the guru's.
I am looking at getting into video editing, only as a hobby. I will be purchasing a mini-DV camera this spring. I am pretty sure i can grasp this stuff, first in iMovie, and then eventually in Final Cut Pro.
First off, what are you opinions regarding Final Cut. Specifically a novice stepping into it. Should i take a course? I am pretty computer savvy, but i am afraid since it is a Pro program, it will be way to advanced for me to grasp.
Secondly, I really want to make my own DVD's of my movies. I currently have a 733MHZ G4 Power Mac Quicksilver. That machine did not come with a Superdrive. Is it as simple as buying an external DVD burner and running iDVD? Do I have to buy iDVD from Apple? Will any DVD burner work with iDVD?
I really hope some Pro's can help out here.
Thanks,
Max
