I emailed the seller direct asking if this came with video editing software, and if not, what they would suggest to go with this particular laptop, but the seller did not respond. Anyone?

I believe iMovie comes with the OS... if so, it is pretty good and uploads directly to YouTube and maybe even Facebook. Confirmed from Apple: "That's why iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are now free with every Mac and iOS device." (http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/)

I am not sure about this seller? If he hasn't responded, I would question that. He is a new seller and has no feedback. Just a thought.

I had the same problem. It would take me about five or six tries. I also had a problem editing the video using premiere pro cs4. some videos would not play and all the videos the sound never matched up. they sent me a new pair of glasses and that took care of connecting to my computer. It worked the first time everytime but I still had a problem editing the video. I just sent the glasses back. I would say contact them. they were real easy to work with.

No you can't edit videos because this product being sold is the privacy filter for the monitor - not the actual laptop.

as for video editing, i would recommend a newer version. though you can get the same software on this model through mac app store

They told me that the boards are either refurbished or pulled out of units that didn't sell. The one they sent me worked for about 5 minutes before it crashed. I could never get the laptop to stay running with it so I sent it back. I ended up buying a new laptop and scrapped the hp, which sucked because those were expensive computers when they were new. As far as whether it will work in your model, you can probably e-mail the sell with that question if you're still interested. They were okay to work with and were willing to refund my money.

Andrew, I do not use adobe or other photo editing software, I use it for software development, so for this use, the equipment is very good. However for what you are needing I think the video card falls far short.I hope I help you.

It came with software, but I have not loaded the software as I use my own. No idea what is on the cd. But most likely it is viewing/editing/printing software as most cams come with. Sorry can't be of more help. Just never installed it.

Without a doubt. Yes. I did however add an Nvidia video card to the computer with 2GB of Ram. Other than that the computer has handled everything I've thrown at it from video editing (HD) to full blown audio studio recording with Native Instruments Komplete, Camel Audio Alchemy, FL Studio, Ableton Live and more... can't go wrong with these guys.

I use Pinnacle Studio 12 ( acutally it's 12.1 - the Ultimate version ) and it works pretty well with my Quad Core computer and a good video card for editing AVCHD footage from this camera. I'm very pleased.Tony

Yes, mine came with several software programs that I hadn't been exposed to in the past. Programs like Evernote, ClearFi photo, ClearFi media, Cyberlink expresso media are some new ones. Plus the option for installing some very useful standard one, like Skype and Webcam software. I would think that each new series of laptops probably has it's own set of software though.

Can you still return it? That was one in a long list of problems I experienced (overheating, random shut downs, sound cutting out, programs crashing...) Luckily I was able to return it before 30 days. Consider a touch screen laptop. Way cheaper, more memory, less bugs and hassle. Good luck!

Sounds more like a software problem then something with the laptop...but, it could also be a graphics error. I haven't heard of this issue though, not on this computer. Good luck!

Yes it does. Everything else about the laptop seemed good, it came highly recommended by friends that know more than I do. I realize that sometimes you get a problem with things, so I still have high hopes for it. I hope this helps.

Have you been able to connect to your computer? I used their program but it is not even recognizing the device. I think their usb cable is defective. huh. I have had nothing but trouble with the pictures. the video direct burner is fine though, if you don't need to edit.

Help! What is the best editing software for a PC? I ordered this camcorder after reading the grand reviews- but I am a music teacher who uses imovie and idvd on a Mac at school. I have a Dell PC at home. What should I get to make awsome DVD's combining photos, video and music? I am very upset at the cost and difficult editing.

I am sure many are asking the same question! @Amazon PLEASE ANSWER... btw, did you purchase the laptop??

I got mine from Tampa Laptops. It never worked long enough to find out if the seller and/or the computer is subpar. Either way, in my opinion, they are both useless.
