Final Cut is pricey but legit. Unless you steal it... Smash

Final cut express works very well for macs and is a little simpler than final cut

Just use what you are comfortable with, because any computer program is just that... something to learn, something to get good at. Once you know the ins and outs, you can get away with using freeware like Windows Movie Maker or iMovie... and depending on how good you are at editing... you could make the sickest movies ever.

I would recommend to learn what Logik and Bob were talking about though, because Final Cut Pro, even though has a harder learning curve, is worth being good at, because it gives you more flexibility as an editor. In other words, you can have zero creativity and look like a creative mastermind just because you are using the right software.

Good luck!

gporter, exactly, some of my favorite hiphop artist's have their beat made on fruity loops, which from what i understand is almost a windows movie maker of audio production. gporter nailed it, its all about what youre comfy with

Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro CS5 are both awesome.

Adobe in general is awesome. Smile

FinalCut is like photoshop in motion... I love it.

I'm just not good at it.

jcoffey,

Have fun Bryce... what kind of footage are you trying to edit? Wakeskating?? Birthday

I love editing... and have so much fun doing it!!! I have an unfinished Halo: Reach montage that I will upload once I find somebody with an HD capture card that is willing to record my clips. haha

Can't wait for Black ops!!!
