Sone felice perche hai cambiato a FCP. Spero che ti piace Final Cut. Ho imparato come editare con FCP 4 anni fa e addesso sto lavorando con Avid Express e no mi piace. Benvenuto e buon lavoro!!!

I too have a Bravo II. It works fine. You have to keep an eye on ink levels and clogs but other then that it works great. I had my DVD drive go down but sending it back was very easy and the service was good. I talked to somebody on the phone. A human voice no less. Very pleased and annoyed that after I bought mine they came out with one that does stacks of 100 discs.

I have started in FCP and have recently learned how to cut on an AVID. I think both programs do good things. In terms of interface FCP has one and AVID has like 4. Their lower software does not match their high end ie Nitris. FCP has better keyframing and timeline features. AVID has Quick transition one of my favorite things in the world. Online offline with and avid is an enjoyable expierence. My biggest thing at this point is that they both work and they both do many things well. I am anti PC in general however. I love Quicktime and any program that uses it. I think however that AVID knows that it is AVID and will make everybody bow to its will to a certain degree. FCP comes with workable keyboard shortcuts where as with AVID you have to decide where to map everything in order to get it to work better. That can be a big leap for a lot of new users. Also I have to switch into AVID mode or FCP mode when I am using their systems. I think that FCP has learned alot from AVID and has kept some distance in order to avoid lawsuits which might be a source for some of the above comments. Anywho, I like to edit and I am glad that all of this technology is available to bitch about.

I have the Terabyte drive. It is great for massive amount of DV. It is too noisy. It sounds like an 747 taking off when it goes to cool itself down. I would go with a g-raid at this point in time for SD work.
