    Hi. I am currently working on a travel documentary. I am editing in FCE . Should I upgrade to FCP or stay with FCE  before approaching a professional post production person/facility for preparation for output to broadcast? TY for your reply.

  2. Totally depends on what you want to do with it, what the and what the post production person/facility is doing, broadcasters standards are.

     

    What are you doing and what is the post production person/facility doing? What do you mean by "post production"? That will effect the reply greatly.

     

    If you are doing the post production yourself, think about this: 

    • Many broadcasters have a high audio standard, that may, or may not be hard for you to achieve depending on your source material. This is what Sound Track is for.
    • Will FCE give you the export options you need? FCP had more than you will know what to do with.
    • Does FCE give you the look you want, is live type good enough? Or do you need Motion?

     

    Disclaimer: I have never personally worked with broadcast.
