Ok im down here in lima peru filming for my first full production of a video. since ive only been skating for ten months (since feb 28, the day i joined rr) i doubt im good enough to get sponsored by any companies. most have you have seen pictures and have a general idea of how good i am. ive been improving my skills at tech street rather than drops and stairs, as i learned those when i was younger on in my skate life. i guess i would just fling myself off of high stuff until i landed it. twas easier than kickflips at the time. anyways, got some questions. ive got around 2 or 3 lines, and maybe...eh. 20 indivual tricks im guessing. now im taking it on a dig. cam. with 7 mega pixels, so the res is really decent. now i have the clips scattered on a cd disk that goes in my comp, cause we went and turned in the memory card at a kodak shop to have them put it on to a disk. right now my edfiting software is photo and vieo explorer 8.0 or some shit like that. im hoping i can use something like photoshop(is there a better editer for windows than photoshop?) i need to now how to get all the clips together, how to be able to cut out the extra run up to the trick and extra roll away time from the trick, and what makes what look better in terms of tricks. o yea, how do i compress the video into a good quality format that will play with high resolution(as i do not want the vid to be all choppy)? and then, what would you reccomend as a good uploader. utube, putfile or what?
i really really precciate the help, sorry for the ignorant questions.

Windows Movie Maker sucks. Get a trial of Vegas, it has the same simplicity only it's good.

wmm sucks because it only exports in wmv's wmv's are not universal. quicktime is universal on the other hand unless your a mac hater and uninstalled quicktime off your pc.

i got so confused on this post since video cameras don't have megapixels. and then realized he's got one of those shitty quality video/photo camera. shitty videos meaning dont take offense. and to answer your one question there isnt anything better then photoshop on pc haha. but video wise you'd want to check out premiere or vegas, or if you got the bills go for avid.
