I’m just starting off with my video career, As a professional photographer (use to Adobe Photoshop), I’m now looking into finding the best Video editing software. I read a few forums regarding this issue of FCP vs Premiere (one of them will be my choice) and it sounds it’s more a PC vs Mac issue. What I could figure was that both FCP & Premiere are great, with the FCP exception working great on Mac (as it’s ONLY for Mac).
I work on PC currently but is due for a major upgrade soon, my decision has been made it will be a Mac this time around, as all my friends tell my I could have just as well bought a Mac every time I build up my PC, because my PC’s I’ve build up are so huge and expensive, and I use it only and ONLY for editing (not even e-mail & internet, for that I still have a separate PC) you might as well use Mac. So I’m going that route soon by buying the latest, biggest iMac. My question is I need to make a decision on an editing software package, FCP or Premiere.
As I’ve hear great things from both, and also Premiere is NOW ready for Mac, I’ve not found anything comparing FCP & Premiere on the same platform (Mac) also you hear of big company’s using FCP on Mac AND/OR Avit on PC, so where is Premiere?
The thing is I need to buy the software and also get training on it, so I would like to make the right choice from the start and not waste any money as we are talking big bucks.
Thanks in advance for everyone’s help coming my way.
