Hello everyone, i recently purchased a digital video camera, i purchased it for it's size and portability, i know it isn't the best quality but it'll do.

I bought the Samsung SC-X205L. Like i said i bought it for the size and convenience, i can just slip it in my pocket and take it with me wherever i got. The thing is the whole editting process.

I think i'll be able to capture the raw stuff creatively and all, i've been into photography for a few years now, and i have a nice DSLR, but i needed to find something to get for christmas and i fell in love with this one when i saw it. It'll mostly be for filming friends and stuff and just recording the things i do with my good friends, girlfriend, etc. I chose it for the size cause my DSLR is just too big to carry everywhere i go.

So... as far as editting goes... yeah, where do i start? I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for editting the stuff. I have the stuff windows comes with, which is decent i suppose, not to mention i have photoshop (i use it for my photography, white balance, cropping, all that ethical stuff). But do i have to buy special programs for the editting and all?

I'm new to all this so any help will be appreciated, i just want to have a grip on this when i get my camera for christmas.

thanks all!
