Professional video editing software lets you edit virtually any format and output to tape, DVD, and the web. With real-time playback, professional hardware support, and enhanced color-correction tools, professional editing software will take your vision into reality.
Sometimes editing doesn't quite give you the special effects that you're looking for. While some basic video effects software will let you add titles and credits, if you're looking for the more compelling motion graphics, you'll have to look at the advanced and professional geared video effects software.
DVD Authoring is the process of collecting data such as audio and video which will eventually become a playable DVD. Advanced authoring programs generally have support for widescreen video, HD DVD, surround sound, along with complex menu navigation, multiple subtitles, multiple audio tracks, etc.
