editing questions

hey guys im interest in editing , looking @ different programs. dont have mac. yet. 2012 mbp.

know fcpx common program. looked @ final cut studio last 1 released in 09. motion , compressor? looks included fcpx. watached few videos fcpx , seem pretty easy learn basics.

looked @ avid media composer 6 since seems 1 of used. 2500 bucks lot me right now

looking adobe more curious fcp now.

appreciated

 

if start editing, play around imovie. latest version (nearly) useful level. once got feet wet, can download fcp x trial version. there's no big difference in workflow.
motion pretty simple use 2-1/2 d compositor , vfx generator. don't need simple projects, it's worth 50 bucks.
compressor program transcodes footage on export. gives bunch more codecs, , can roll own settings. additionally speeds export through clustering. if upload youtube or keep stuff on computer, don't need it.

avid whole different animal. pretty complex beginner (same fcs was), , overkill home user.

have been avid fcs user (since fcp 3), since have fcp x, "classic" looks cumbersome me, , never looked back. had rebuild older project last week in fcp 6. had done in fcp x, i'd have done in half time.

i'm producing haf-hour agricultural docus, psa , stuff local broadcast.
