[TimK} The software has absolutely nothing to do with how the “editing” looks. If there is some issue with image quality, that may have something to do with your equipment or software, or if the images look bad you may have a videographer that doesn’t understand how to create quality images, but FCP won’t help your editing technique any more than Premiere will…

…it’s like me buying a restaurant-quality stove and wondering why I still can’t cook…

i think that’s a good and “renaissance-ing” paragraph.

thank’s, tim.
i’ll print and stick it on my monitor. so i can remember it everytime.

firstly, let me say thank’s for the attention and everyone’s critiques and questions on my poster. (also i’m beg your pardon, because i’ve never responded all of the replies. that’s all because i have no computer that can connect to internet all of time. i’m in indonesia.)

secondly, my goal is get some tips that can be used in editing-process. so the final result is likely a profesional-look edited video. i mean, the picture quality. so, it will look-like the videos that screened on tv or cinema.

in my assumptions, i’ll get some tips or ways, like a post in the cinematography-sections, titled “how to get a film look” (with digital footage), of course.
so, “profesional-look”, in my own definition, is good picture-quality. so, when it (the video) sees by audience, it won’t look like a ordinary edited-video. or maybe, it’s just some footages those were cut, here and there, then recorded into unity.
and my prediction, the quality of the final result were determined by the “way” we take the picture and how the editing-software compresion (in final video) quality is.

now, i know that even creepy footages can be an amazing final-video. not only determined by the editing-software, but also the quality of the editor it self.

ok, thank’s again, for all of the suggestions. i hope that i’ve never “knocked on the wrong door” for learning, by joined in this forum.

i have serious and permanent problem about control the quality of the final video. i’ve been using adobe premiere for all of my postprod. process. but, i’ve never been met any satisfying result. the final video never look like a video edited by profesional editor. i don’t know where the problems are. my assumption: those were caused by the quality of the editing-software itself. maybe adobe premiere (i’m using premiere 6.5) can’t produce a profesional-look final video. isn’t true?
i’ve ever watched a final video produced by final cut pro. it’s so profesional-look video. can i produce the same quality like final cut pro final video with premiere? or i should change my editing-software?thanks.
