Re: Avid and FCP

I dunno, that's been a favourite video of mine for a long time.

Everyone has their own prejudices and ideas, but the advice I've seen in this thread has generally seemed pretty reasonable.

Avid has weaknesses for sure, but certainly the types of errors he's been talking about are things I see more in FCP forums than Avid ones. I think Avid is more powerful as a editing workhorse, while perhaps FCP has a stronger creative bent?

Avid certainly has been designed a lot more rigidly, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage (although once you get past the initial learning curve that swings much more toward the advantage side I think).
