Hi Stephen,<br>
<br>
For Windows, Premiere would probably be a good option, if you are
looking for something professional. I have used version CS4 to edit
mp4 and it works well.<br>
<br>
The only problem is that the specifications for Premiere CS6, the
latest version, are hefty
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html">https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html</a>), so you
might need to buy a new computer. You also need to run a 64-bit
version of Windows.<br>
<br>
There is a free alternative called Lightworks
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.lightworksbeta.com/">http://www.lightworksbeta.com/</a>), which has been used for
professional productions and supports mp4. I've downloaded it, but
haven't had the time to play around with it yet.<br>

<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color:
#000000;font-size: 10pt;">Dear RNLD list members,<br>
<br>
Can anyone advise the best video editing software to edit large
video files. Last year I purchased a new video camera, the JVC
GY HM 100E. The JVC produces .mp4 files, which are large in
size. I had purchased an edition of Adobe Premiere back in 2007
but it is unable to read these files so I need to update to
something newer.<br>
<br>
Can anyone advise me on whether Adobe Premiere is the best
software to get for video editing, or is there another better
product? I want to be able to edit video, add titles, captions
&c. I use a Windows computer and was able to operate the
2007 version of Adobe Premiere. It would be good not to have to
learn something completely new.<br>
<br>
Thanks to all<br>
<br>
