OK guys and girls, here's my two cents (and I know it's only worth two cents, my wife told me.) In the editing world, we sometimes get wrapped up in our gadgets and goodies, which of course includes our editing app. I fully agree that running an editing app does not make one an editor. Whoever added that tidbit, thanks, I will use it in the future. But I digress. Have we forgotten that this type of discussion happens all over the computer world? How about Windows vs. Unix? Microsoft Word vs. Corel WordWordPerfect? We all have our reasons for using the apps we choose. I HATE Microsoft Word. I have learned how to use it just to say to companies I deal with that I can use it. But I prefer and USE WordPerfect whenever possibe. And nobody knows the difference. So what am I trying to say? I guess that we live in a world of prejudice. Most people prefer Windows over the others because it is what they know, no matter how bad it may be. Same with Microsoft Word. Same with FCP, it is what they know, whether or not it is better. Unix is making its wave because people use it and it is GOOD. Then they tell others and they try it out for themselves. It is our job as Premiere users to do GREAT work with Premiere and let the world know it when they see our work. Most may never change their minds. But we must keep editing great works and let them speak for themselves. C'mon my Premiere using friends, let's take the world by storm and leave them gasping for Premiere. (stepping down from soap box) Just my thoughts. Tom

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!
