What is the best software to use for editing and transferring videos from my camcorder to the computer?
It depends on what camcorder you have, what format the video is recorded in, and what kind of editing you need to do. Since none of this information was provided, we would have to suggest getting Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. Adobe Premiere CS3 is available for both Mac and PC. Premiere can handle almost every format you have, and it can allow you to do pretty much any kind of editing you require. Avid Media Composer is a more professional alternative. It too is available for both Mac and PC, and Avid has been the major choice for theatrical movie production for years.
