You aren"t going to Be able to Find a High end Video editing/Capture Program for that Price, Maybe double that Price...Most Good editing Programs of which I own Most some even twice usually will run you about $600-$900...Something Like "Vegas Video 4/DVD Architect" or "Adobe Premier Pro" are going to be about $700 includeing some of the Plugins Like Mpeg encodeing a dolby digital encodeing...The Cheapest one I can think of that I would Rate as a Good all arround editor Is "Media Studio Pro 7" and it is about $450 US...I am sort of Lucky Cuz I work as a Video Editor For a Big Studio and everytime there is a New Editing Package that comes out the Company I work for gets sent a Promotional Copy of the Software hopeing that we will Buy it for all of your editing workstations as We have 46 Video Editors and editing workstations were I work, so Once or twice a Month my boss comes in with a Bunch of Promo Packages of the Latest Editing , Effects , DVD Authoring ECT software and leaves them in the Coffee room for us , so I get all Kinds of stuff Most of which is Crap but I keep all the Good Stuff..So when it comes to editing Software I have literally Tried them all and Own them all...
You are going to need something else becides software since you are captureing from an Analogue Hi8 Cam you are going to need a Analogue Capture device to transfer the Video to your PC and you are alo going to need a Dedicated Fast and Large Hard drive because Captured Video Files take up an enormous Ammount of Disk Space if you want to capture to the Highest Quality, you will Need at least 100gb which will hold about 2-6 Hours of Raw Video depending on what resolution you capture to and if you use Software/Hardware compression....A High Quality Analogue Capture Device can cost anywere from $100-$300 plus the Hard drive which can run $80...Well If you need any More Info on Video editing and software ECT you can PM me with your E-mail and I"ll try to help you the best I can....Cheers
