Les, funny though in editing world they do ask, "do you edit in FCP?" :) and of course, many people doesn't understand about editing, a good editor's work is never noticeable on screen, because it supposed to bring the story to live but not to annoys you with fancy cuts or crazy effects... :)

Hi all, Well i agree that Premiere is just a tool for the job, Its the editors skill that counts, and thats what the client is paying for. An editor could learn another system in half a day, but you can't teach someone how to edit in half a day! I recently had someone offering to help out n my department, saying he knew how to work an Avid, "yes, but can you edit" i asked, to a blank look. Knowing how to work a camera does not make you a photographer! I think you should sell your services on your editing skillis and examples of your work. If i employ a carpinter, i don't ask him what kind of hammer he uses! Frank - The Adobe guy you mention, Daniel Brown I'm sure he's not the rep here in Scotland. Maybe you are talking about the USA? Just a thought to remind you guys that this is a worldwide group and not everyone in the world lives in the USA! Regards Les [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
