Adobe Premiere 6.5 Mac for sale

[sb]

Before there was a motion picture DVD there was a motion picture. That's
what was editing.

the creation of the movie itself, from the raw footage, is video or film
editing, and that's done with an editing application.

To create a DVD, you are creating a compressed version of the entire movie.
You can add other elements, like more movies, slideshows, etc onto the DVD,
but you don't use the raw footage, you use the finished movies.
