So you like FCP then?

Thank goodness there's a "Basics" forum.

SO I'm an Adobe user. When I started doing video for the company where I work as a commercial photographer, I got in to the Adobe Production Suite. I'm very experienced with Photoshop so I figured Adobe was as good a place to start as any. But I've got a little time on my hands as I wait for PPro to take 5hrs to render a preview for a 7min talking head, so I'm hitting the forums.

Maybe some folks with too much time on their hands can tell me why they like FCP? I know a lot of people use both the Apple and Adobe suites, I'm sure there are benefits to each. I do find that I spend about half the time I'm working on video waiting for renders and previews and such. And not like exporting a project, I mean just previews. Do the Apple products seem to work any faster?

Anyway, any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.
