I have been an Avid video editor for 15 years. i'd go with Avid as it is the industry standard and you could eventually get a job using this software if you wanted. You could be a premier or FCP editor but your salary will be lower. Just my 2 cents.

I am finding it difficult to capture the steepness of many obstacles. I don't feel I have effectively captured it in either stills or video. Does anyone have any tips or tricks? Actually any tips or tricks for off-road action videos. |

I've been an editor for as long as you, using several different software programs over the years. My salary has never been dictated by software, but how creatively I use it to create a great product. I love both AVID and FCP, and at times I prefer one over the other depending on the project I'm working on. No offense, but I think your advice is a little misguided.

My .02 cents to anyone interested in seriously pursuing a career in video editing... learn both AVID & FCP and you've pretty much got your bases covered. |
I tried to use the pre installed movie maker but ran into a problem since my camera is MP4 and movie maker doesn't support that, I looked for a converter and the video ended up choppy and it kept cutting out. anyone know of a software that supports MP4 ?

I'll have to check premiere to see if it supports mp4..i think it does. I ended up buying the new photoshop and premiere elements as there was a package for sale for 120 a few weeks back..great deal and so far works awesome...
