Gary I am in the market for entry level editing controller for a Sony TR-700 Hi 8 camcorder. Would it be possible to get a copy of the book "Desk Top Video Handbook?". Thanks Stan

Stan: >I am in the market for entry level editing controller for a Sony TR-700 Hi 8 camcorder.

It's pretty entry level (cuts only), but it's also cheap (under $200 at your local Radio Shack) and fairly accurate according to VIDEO Magazine's Technical Editor Lance Braithwaite (Lance is a big fan of the "Thumbs Up"). If you want a version for your computer, try Gold Disk's Video Director (also around $200). The PC version will run on a 386 Windows computer and it also does "cuts only" and is fairly accurate. Hope this helps, Tim Liebe

VideoDirector sells for about $100. And has a suprising lot of capability. -jts

John: >VideoDirector sells for about $100. And has a suprising lot of capability.< Really? It's down that low? I thought the street price was still around $200–which is STILL a bargain, given what it's capable of… Best, Tim

Stan, I recommend you get the Gold Disk Video Director. It is currently on sale for $100. I can think of no better bargain in all off video editing. We also have the AVer overlay cards which can work with VD 2,0 and provide you with superimposed titles and transitions. To get a FREE copy of "THe Desk Top Video Handbook" just email your mailing address. This free offer is available to all C-Serve members.
