Best Software for Editing an AMV (anime music video)...Final Cut Pro and Pinnacle Studio 15.

If you have a lot of money, Final Cut Pro is the Hollywood standard of editing.

I don't really recommend Windows Movie Maker, as it's not good at synchronizing shot clips.

Probably the best kind of editing software would be the current version of Pinnacle Studio, Pinnacle Studio 15.

It can be found here: CLICK HERE

The reason I like Pinnacle 15, is because it divides each video camera shot, or "clip" individually. They're pre-cut in certain ways, so it makes it easier to mix and remix together various camera shots with other shots.

I edited what is probably my most famous video, Anime Megamix 1, on Pinnacle software. It really makes each cut seamless, and makes a PC-based editor's job a whole lot easier and simpler. The current version of Pinnacle (15) is around $50 bucks, but if you've devoted your life to making a hobby of amateur anime remixing and re-editing like I have, you'll probably find Pinnacle to be well worth the cover price, once you get the hang of it. You can also author DVDs on Pinnacle software, if I'm not mistaken, but I'm not sure if it's Pinnacle Studio 15 that does that, but one version of Pinnacle DOES author DVDs, so that way if you want to, you can give copies of your AMV work, on a few DVDs you've made, to friends, as gifts, like I do.

So yeah: For Editing AMVs: Pinnacle Studio Pro 15
For authoring AMVs to DVD for gifts: Pinnacle Dazzle Video Creator Platinum
