Knowing both systems is VERY important in today’s post production market. Don’t be labelled as an “FCP Editor” or “Avid Editor.” Just be known as simply, an editor. You need to be known as someone who can use either tool, because that will make you far more marketable. Read More

While these products can be purchased for less then one hundred dollars they deliver a level of performance and features that would have cost 10 times as much just 5 years ago! While these products allow you to edit your video, create slideshows, author DVDs and export them to the we (Read More)
