A good starter package for beginners to video editing.
Video editing packages are 10-a-penny these days but Swann's new DV Starter kit is good value if you're just getting started with digital video.
The kit includes a FireWire card that allows you to connect a digital camcorder to a PC. The card has no less than three FireWire ports on it, which is useful as it allows you to connect additional FireWire devices such as a hard disk or MP3 player, in addition to your camcorder.
There's a good software bundle included too. Video editing features are provided by Ulead's VideoStudio and there's another program, called Maestro, that uses ready-made sound clips and loops to automatically generate soundtrack music for your movies.
That gives you all the hardware and software you need to get started with video editing for just under £60. As such, it is definitely a good starting point for digital camcorder owners.

review is dated April 2003, this reply is dated August 2010. I found it helpful, as i'm about to purchase it from an auction site for $10 NZ. Thanks Cliff Joseph, whoever- and wherever- you are!
