You’re a professional, right? I made a video for my college project using Premiere. I had a lot of fun. I just wanted to ask why do you choose your software and what do you think of Premiere?

@Ben I’m still working on adapting to the new final cut and motion via the trial on the apple website. Quite the overhaul FCP has been given. I primarily use a t2i for my shooting, occaisionally a 7D depending on our time frame.
@Linas It depends on your definition of professional, considering that i’m 18 and have only been shooting video since 2007.
