Todd, what didn't you like about FCPX? My video editing experience is really only limited to FCPX so I don't know what I'm missing or not missing, haha.

I use premiere pro - no complaints here there is a learning curve, but it's certainly a very excellent solution

Can someone enlighten me as to what a "non-linear editor" is?

Apologies That would be my bad for spouting lingo.
Non-Linear Editor just means its a system that doesn't have to edit in "linear sequence". Way back when, editing systems were "tape based", yes video tape!! Nowadays, editing systems are based on Hard drives, etc. So the assets can be accessed in a "non linear" fashion. Eg. You don't have to rewind a video tape to a certain spot to find a certain shot. The "standard" non-linear editing system interface elements such as a timeline, preview and program windows (for viewing clip and timeline separately) etc. are what Apple abandoned when they wanted a more "non editor" friendly package. Evidently FCP 7 was just too complicated for most folks to deal with. So they created a new interface based on imovie that, according to testing, was more intuitive for new users. The only problem is that learning a closed system like fcpx doesn't allow translatable skills to be formed so when attempting to lean a standard interface, your starting from scratch. I worked in a university for some time and we used FCP since version 1. We even adopted FCPX when it came out. I think they may still be using it. But PRemiere now looks like FCP used to, which is to say it has the standard interface elements that an editor would expect. So learning it, makes your skills "transferable" to other standard systems. But like I always say, it takes all kinds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_editing_system Can someone enlighten me as to what a "non-linear editor" is?

It was pretty easy for me to pick up as it's a standard non linear editing interface. If you have used AVID or FINAL CUT 7, it's a quick jump to premiere thankfully For folks with little or no editing experience, it would probably be a bit more of a curve though. Gotta say I wish I'd have switched a while back. Been trying to get used to fcpx for a while now. I have heard that folks that start with fcpx take to it very quickly, but the bad news is that it's a closed system that works like no other editor so the skills using it don't transfer very well to other packages. It is such a popular app (Adobe owns several markets, no?) that there are tons of resources out there for learning. I posted a video in one of my previous posts that went over using Premiere to combine multiple camera shots into a single movie ~ I learned more from that video than from alot of the tutorials on Adobe's site - it shows workflow, and some great ways to handle editing, plus some great 3rd party plugins. here's that link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMuEEvLdoho This post has been edited by SirJamsalot: Nov 10 2014, 08:04 AM -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

I've been using Premiere in the last 12 years. I've learnt it at the University so I had to learn to use it perfectly, and I have to say that it has evolved great. In the old days it was a bit heavy for my computers, compared with Vegas that seemed to be a very "small", "fast working" program. But the last versions are fantastic in many aspects so if you ask me, my answer is, if you can pay it, go for it, it's the best option at least for PC.
