Total newbie to video editing.
I'm going to start transferring all my old home video tapes to digital then edit them and produce DVDs etc for my extended family. I've got analog 8 tapes and MiniDV tapes for two different cameras and think I've sorted how to get them on the computer (using an old video camera connected by firewire to the computer.
Deciding what editing software to use. Need something reasonably simple but with features to edit and add some effects but nothing clever. I'll be doing it on my iMac (do have a Windows laptop as well) so obvious first thought is to use iMovie but in the future I'm considering moving but to just Windows machines (whole different discussion !!!) so I'm leaning towards Adobe Premiere Elements 2018.
Any recommendations please ?
Also if anyone has transferred analog tapes what format is best to import them and any other advice ? Totally confused when search on google.
Many thanks.
