Hi there, I'm new to the forum so hello to you all.
I have a question which on the surface seems like a 'which programme is best' but which is actually a practicality based question.
I am based in the UK (London) and am planning in the near future to move my skills (graphic design for print and interactive, compositing etc) to a full editing based career. I have done a small amount off off-line work in the past and have found I seem to have the required timing skills etc. Now my question is, from a training point of view, where should I invest time and money to make the most of the work opportunities out there, off-line and online.
The main choices as I see them are:
Avid
Autodesk (Discreet Fire or Smoke)
Final Cut Pro
As far as programmes go, I know they are all very competant and they will cover all the bases, but some are better suited to certain time-frames and deadlines etc.
So, anyone out there in the field who could offer some pratical advice. All of this is of course dependent on my skill level, but lets ignore that for now and assume I am up to the job ;o)
Thanks in advance
