No, some people may prefer another program.  Just because you use it doesn't mean it's the best...or maybe it does, lawlzor...but seriously.

Premiere CS3.

I say end thread because FCP is called the industry standard...............not because I think so. BUT I have used many of the others and nothing even comes close to the things you are able to do in fcp. I have been using fcp for 5 years and every time I sit down I find something new I am able to do. The things they teach you in school are really just scratching the surface of such an amazing software.

Hmmm...touché.

What I should've said was that he's asking multiple people on what they use, not just everyone until someone says FCP.

My apologies, I'm just being a tired cranky NS bitch, picking arguments.  Seriously, I am...lawl.

Silly question, but are you exporting them?  If so, are they within the file size limit?

I hope to go to School of Visual Arts. I toured it a few months back and let me tell you. they have around 7 rooms stocked with Mac Pros working exclusively on FCP. I was in awe

I went to MSU for a year on full scholarship for media production but moved back to Colorado to be in the industry. I have been taking classes in fcp for around 4 years now.
