What software to choose

[Johnjohn]

I'm sorry i'm new to the board and I'm pretty sure this kind of thread have already been edited...but i'm lost and don't know what to choose for my beatmaking videos... I started editing videos with I Movie but no multiplan options etc. make me wanna switch!

I'm thinking about Final Cut, is it worth the money ? How about Adobe Premiere ? What do you guys use ? Let me know

final cut X is pretty simple for editing since they made it more for consumers than pros

but i like Premiere pro because of the interface and the dynamic link capabilities with After Effects

CS5.5 PremierPro and AfterEffect best.

I was doing some research on that and the name camtasia was popping up a lot for windows and apple users. I downloaded it last year and its hella easy to use and the quality is great (depending on your PC)

Avid Studio is nice but if you are on a Mac you might as well go w/ FCP.

The best is,
Sony Vegas!

I love Sony Vegas, it's simple and it gets work done fast

I prefer the Adobe Suites over most other editing software. The dynamic links between premiere and after effects is amazing and helps productivity and work flow. You get more for your money taking this route. There are other good editing packages but the combo of photoshop/illustrator/premiere and after effects is the most suitable for me.
