Nice video Robin, it looks great.. what camera do you use? Then do you just edit it with final cut or premiere?

thanks! I have a Sony HC-42 (almost 3 yrs old) and Ikelite housing. When I got into video, I didn't want to spend alot as I wasn't sure how much I would like it. I have found out that I love it! Now I want to upgrade to HD, just need to find the $$$.
I edit the videos with Pinnacle Studio v.10. I like the program because it is very user friendly. It isn't the fanciest or most expensive program on the market, but is really dumbed down for people like me who don't intend to spend hundreds of hours learning it.... it has pictures and a drop and drag process that works for me. The only thing I don't like about it is that you need to save often as if you get going editing too fast you can cause it to abort, then have to restart (it doesn't lose your edits, it asks when restarting if you want to pick up where you left off). I usually hit save every 60 seconds or so, just saves time and frustration.
