I can't help you with any other Editing Program since I haven't used anything else except FCP4, But I can tell you how to get it cheaper, If your a Student or know a student you can get Final Cut Pro 4 Academic Edition for 500 bones. Plus you can save on many of there other programs and Equipment. Sorry Couldn’t be more help

I suggest you get FCP.

Sure, it's expensive - but many aspects of making movies are. It's an acceptable business expence and well worth it!

If you don't use Mac then look at Adobe Premier.

For the PC, you can also look at Vegas ($400-ish) from Sony. There's a scaled down version called Movie Studio which I think runs around $70. It still has plenty of features. It's available at most computer stores.

Premiere Pro is pretty darn good too.

It is good software I just wish I knew how to use it better.

Hear, Hear! I've been working on teaching myself to become a colorist and although it's great fun (at least I think so) it's a real pain too.

Premiere Pro is pretty effective but I'll admit I get frustrated with each new version of Premiere. It seems like they improve some lacking sections of the program at the expense of sections that were already working just fine.

AVID is great... Their XPress version is still pretty expensive though...

[directorlca]

Yeah on Macs go with Final Cut Pro. If you're on a tight budget, you might want to look at Final Cut Express, can do the same things except for batch capture and some keyframing abilities.

He doesnt have a mac though.

What is OS EX? is that a mac OS emulator for windows?

[HailtotheKing]

I use Ulead's Media Stuido Pro. Works fine for me.

[sonnyboo]

Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 is comparable (now).

Avid Xpress DV is also good.

I have Adobe, and it has every feature I'll ever need EXCEPT for decent titling options...but whatayagonnado?

[Shaw]

:shock:

[EXCEPT for decent titling options]

Interesting that you should say that. In all the reviews I read premiere is always mentioned for its great titling capabilities!
