Anyone have a preferance for the best software to purchase for editing the videos on my p4p. I have windows media player now but I need somthing easier to use and more campatible with the video format on the drone.

Several out there but for me it's Final Cut Pro X. Superb program.

I use cyberlink power director 15 for reasons of price and features,

for me is : SONY vEGAS 14 PRO 64bits for Windows

Not necessarily but you'll have to watch a few videos to get started and practice, practice, practice.

I'm using Sony Vegas 11, old one, but really good.

No, but it helps. The practicality is that there are a number of video editing packages out there, some expensive, like Final Cut Pro (which BTW only works on Apple devices) and Adobe Premier, and there is also a very high spec one, Blackmagic Resolve, which is free. But Resolve in particular will demand a high spec computer, it does not run on 'ordinary' computers, and is also quite tough to learn. On the other hand there are a number on online tutorials to teach you how to use it.

In between these are a number of lower cost editors which can also do the job, Sony Vegas Pro, Cyberlink Power Director and so on. Try Googling for 'video editor reviews'.

Above all, you need to consider whther your computer is up to scratch first before you try these editors.

I prefer Adobe Premiere. Not as easily figured out as some others like Final Cut or iMovie but as far as everything you'll ever need it fits everything I'd ever need for drone videos.
