It probably won't have much info about the AIW Radeon as it's not the greatest product for video editing, but 2-pop.com is a great resource for digital video information.

You don't have to go deeper into your pockets to start doing DV editing. For the price of your Radeon, you could purchase an analog to DV converter that would yield higher quality video than the Radeon will.

It is a start and I would suggest using Adobe Premiere. It's not too expensive and it will help you gain basic knowledge of non-linear editing software.

don't bother with analog editing, it's so cumbersome :Q

Get yourself a program like premiere, avid, or Final Cut Pro. It's not that hard to pick up on the basics of using the program. the hard part is learning when to edit. I mean anyone can learn a program, but it takes an artist to create a great edited film.

For the meantime I need analog, until I can buy a DV camera. I tried premiere but its Firewire only. I starting capture, I think I'll buy editing for dummies, or Premiere 6 bible or something like that?
