Although Express isn't too expensive, it's not so easy to learn. Also, it's Mac-compatible, so that's probably no good. Thinking more for posting videos on the Outreach blogger site to accompany blogs. If the cameras are video-capable, edited clips might jazz up the site, attract more traffic and, most importantly, bring Project Toto in Bangladesh to life through video. 60 sec clips actually take quite some to edit, if you want something that looks good.

We do have some budget for software, but not a lot. The big question is whether the locals you train will have the time and skills to use the video editing software. How long would it take to train someone to confidently use Final Cut Express...and how long would it take to edit, say, a 60 second clip? I realise that may be asking how long a piece of string is... But do you have any idea? Or do others? Hi Joel. We do have some budget for software, but not a lot.

Final Cut Pro's good for Macs, but I'm not sure what the PC equivalent is. Would be terrific for putting together cool clips and webisodes about Bangladesh, the peeps and the project. Final Cut Express's pretty much the same as Pro, and way cheaper - 199US, I believe. Do you guys have video-editing software?
