Re: Has anybody switched to FCP? Any opinions?

As I said, I like FCP so I won't argue against it, but some of our clients can't wrap their thinking around it when they see it advertised in a Mac Warehouse catalog (actually what they see is the $495 upgrade price). They think of wedding videos on VHS, edited on Premiere (nothing against Premiere except that they dropped Mac).

We know some guys in this area with FCP on a G4 laptop that will shoot on a handheld DV camcorder, then edit in their van and give the client a VHS copy within 2 hours total.

It looks cheap, and that's why so many of our clients shy away from FCP and say that it is not professional.
