Thanks Elevation

Final Cut for editing( I get my MEDIA 100 LE card back at X-mas:)!!!), and After Effects for the titles, the red tint was done in a Final cut video filter plug in called Magic Bullet compression in quicktime. shot wiht a VX2000....in 4:3...i just put black bars over it for "the look"

yah i used premire back in the day when i was "editing" video clips i got off the internet on the family pc, i was introduced to Media 100 in 11th grade, and took some courses and stuff and thats what i perfer to use now. Final Cut is also pretty good. Premier is strictly PC now. they quit releasing it for mac.

do you like what you use now better? or did you just stop using premier because it doesnt run on macs?

Premier is the WORST out of all video editing programs out there...beisides all the like little ones you can buy from walmart..like video vegas and stuff. i cannot stand using premeir. its horrible. if you have a pc. and dont want to get a mac, or dont want to pay for another computer,get Avid ..its the best PC editing program.

I like Final cut for small projects that i will be working on for a day or two. but for larger projects or stuff that i am really putting time into i use media 100. I like the organisation system it uses. and its a much more reliable program..plus its all realtime. and runs on its own PCI card. final cut is a good program also. but i dont use all the little effects, because u can just do all of that in after effects and have way more controll over the outcome. i used to have After Effects ICE...but they dident make a update for OSX for the PCI card > Sad

it was amazing...the ICE card was a PCI card with 4 processors on it, every effect in realtime except for a few crazy ones that renderd super fast anyway. I have AE 6 right now. i need to get the 6.5 upgrade cause it is designed to run with the dual g5 processors...I tested the demo out on my computer...i renderd 1 video layer, 1 light layer, and 4 3d moving text layers in realtime.

JamesWatts, thats really tight. Well premier is the best i have. I have been into making videos for about two years now. At first, i started messing aroung with Pinacle and Videowave on my moms computer which were really not good at all. But i got a burned copy of premier 6.5 from my friend last year so i started using that. with pinacle and video wave being my only background i think premier is pretty good and im going to start using after effects soon which will be really good. But what i was wondering is how much do final cut or media 100 go for?
