Anyway, I stop because you'll end to think that I might be a Lightworks vendor...
I like it because it's british engineering...
Although I can agree with Coot that US have been produced good cars.
Fred,
No I don't think your a vendor, I just think you use what you like. It's funny I find NLE's with all the bells and whistles interesting.
A few late nights ago I looked at about 15 national and international commercials, then flipped over and watched some small cuts from about 5 movies.
All were professional, in color, effects, and titles but as far as editing the edits were just quck cuts, jump cuts and the effects were probably handled outside of the NLE.
As long as you can produce a xml, any NLE would have worked for what I watched.
I don't like Premier because of the subscription model and with all the travel we do it's always a call to Adobe.
Reluctantly I've been learning FCP X 10.3. So much I don't like, though 10.3 is more than an incremental upgrade, it's almost a total rewrite and though so many of the functions are almost hidden, it works well with RED footage, though it depends on what I shoot.
If it's a small video, I grade everything first. Might as well, because it allows me to work quickly to build the story, have options for client changes, without round tripping three times.
I would love to see a different grading suite, more along the lines of lightroom that would roto, track and blend, without wheels and clicking back and forth as you go, but that's a different animal.
IMO
