I haven’t, though I’m sure it’s quite nice based on reviews here. I mean, I like Premiere… I rent a copy now. 🙂 I’m just a little tired of the high and mighty “FCP is not Professional” bullsh*t. That’s all.

Which is what I heard about Premiere from Final Cut users for many years. Kind of funny how things have changed.

I’m sure you did. And, just like the Mac vs. PC “wars”, and the iOS vs. Android “wars”, the “my (insert random thing here) is better than yours” combatants are idiots. Of course, just my opinion… 🙂

All the wars are silly however I hear them all the time. I was just at the movie theatre with my friend who has an iPhone and she saw my Galaxy S3 and she said “I might change over and get a Galaxy phone next”. Immediately the stranger to the right of her starts telling her not to do it and goes into a full on Apple advertisement about how much better the iPhone was and how she should wait, etc.
Just don’t get that type of fanboyism. I have Dell desktop PC, a Mac Book Pro, a Surface Pro 2, an iPad and a Samsung Galaxy S3. I get whatever gets the job done.

Yep. And there’s nothing wrong with debating the decisions. It’s the whining and puffery that gets to me now and again, no matter who, or what side it’s coming from. 🙂

I don’t really think too much about the names because I always relabel them to call them what I want anyway.
I don’t leave the word “EVENT” there, in my case with, lets say with my doc, the event is the name of the person I interviewed and would contain their sit-down, b-roll and pics, and the project is changed to whatever section I’m working on.
Like Westlake. I’m looking at the word Westlake, not project.

Great news. I’ve been eager to try out Lightworks ever since EditShare picked it up.

Yeah, the “it’s not pro” complaint starts to sound more like fear than fact. I think I remember Avid calling FCP that not too many years ago, and look how that has flipped.
