Opinions on the BEST software for HV20

Hi

I'm about to buy, andI was going to get Sony Vegas platinum, but then I read that it lacks some key features like white balance, anti-shake, etc.

I am going to be using the camera for doing music videos, so creative features are important.

Can someonw who's tried several brands of software give opinions on pros and cons of some of the stuff out there, and what is your favorite ?

THanks

You can download trial versions of most software. I would suggest you to download and play with the trial versions and see which one suits you the best.

Here is a List of Video Editing Software which I started about five years ago of software I had tried. Then I just edited and updated the list. Then I just stopped:

I've been using Sony Vegas for almost five years. I stayed with it for a reason. Reliability...

I believe Sony Vegas platinum has color correction.

What software actually has "key features like white balance, anti-shake"?

Interesting what I said earlier:

But in any event, I would try the trial program to make sure it at least runs on the system before buying anything.
