Then, my favorites, a list of freeware or shareware video
editing software that you can download online:
▪ Microsoft Windows Movie Maker (easiest to get since it
is built into Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 or is
available as a free download and is easy to use; Google
"Download Windows Movie Maker")
▪ Apple iMovie – Free if you buy a new Mac
▪ Avid FreeDV – Available for both PC and Mac
▪ Wax
▪ Zwei-Stein
My Recommendation: If you are using a PC, try the
Windows Movie Maker. It's the one you've seen advertised
on TV where the seven-year-old is assembling movies and
pictures into a presentation. If you use a Mac, buy a new one
and get iMovie, or check to see if you already have it on your
newer Mac. You can purchase it from Apple if you don't.
Both programs are easy to use. Google the names of the free
stuff and give them a try too.
I am well pleased with my D300S's
true "video on demand", and I use it often. When I go up into
the ancient Great Smoky Mountains, I can now take great still
images and set my D300S up on a tripod by the many rivers
and waterfalls for some great, relaxing home videos. Later, I
can assemble them into a longer presentation, combined with
music for my family and friends to enjoy. Having video in our
DSLR cameras will revolutionize photography as we know it.
Since your D300S has excellent HD video, you have a head
start.
