FCP/ Avid/ Premier for doc post producion houses?

[Jason Porthouse] “with a few more hoops to jump through if you’re going down the ProTools route for audio, or grading in a separate suite.”
Not the least bit more or less than with Avid in either case. One at best.

As mentioned the final deliverable is the key to the correct answer. As a freelance editor I spend much of my time picking up the pieces created by wrong decision making. For some crazy reason people with low budgets spend a great deal of their budget trying to save money! Doesn’t leave a lot to do the job properly.

7 is a dead end? No one cares what you cut on. No one.

To expand on the “no one cares what you cut on.” If you can deliver the content in the way the people who are paying you specify, they do not give a flying f*** what you cut it on.

“If you are trying to deliver a project to an editor to take it and run with it, then yes, in that situation, editors do give a f**k what it was cut on.

[tony west] “X is really user friendly and powerful. You might find that you can cut most of your doc yourself in it and then go to a more experience editor to finish it like you intended”
I have to agree with Tony. I edited with Vegas Pro for over 12 years (since Vegas Video 3) and I picked up FCP X in just a few days. It’s very similar to Vegas Pro and more powerful in a lot of ways (the magnetic timeline is pure genius. I will never edit with a track based NLE again). It shouldn’t be hard for you to learn it at all.
Having said that, did you think of posting to the Vegas Pro forum here at the COW? My friend Graham Bernard is in London and he’s an excellent Vegas Pro editor with the same 12+ years experience as me. He’s very active here at the COW on the Vegas Pro forum so you might want to contact him and keep everything in Vegas Pro. 😉 (no sense changing NLE’s if you don’t have to)

I use fcpx and i think that it is amazing and very user friendly. I think you can pick any software you like and put an add online to find a pro editor that uses that software

The comment was not about editors but those who are taking delivery (and making the rules.)

In my little corner of the world, project files are considered a deliverable about half of the time, and you must use the client’s preferred system for the sake of their workflow.

Absolutely agreed. But the other fifty percent don’t care what you cut on if you can satisfy their deliverables. So I guess that makes my “no one cares what you cut on” comment about fifty percent wrong.
