There is no answer because we al do different stuff that requires different options.
Right now the pros - my wife and all her co-workers (every one with 10+ years of editing experience with multiple national TV shows and commercials to their credit) only consider Avid MC and Premiere. Actually if you are doing episodic TV then the only option is Avid as it manages assets better. On the other hand FCPX is loved by my close friend who runs very successful on-man-band outfit. I just finished editing a feature length doc (that's doing its rounds winning major awards blah, blah) that was cut on Avid MC - and i can tell you my share of shit we had to deal with. Which means that even top tier industry standard software is not without its pains. My other friend (one of those top tier editors) is cutting a feature doc now on Premiere and is ripping his hair out (if he could, he would go back to Avid in fraction of a second).
- just wanted to ad that my opinion comes from position of director not editor: AVID is not software u can just jump into like premiere or FCP.pr2
- Agreed — I'm a one-man operation inside a marketing communications company and we've found FCPX to be just fine. I still use After Effects heavily with it.evilpeacock
