<HTML>We wish to purchase a DV native edit system. We have no particular aliance to a Mac or PC platform at this time (we need to completely upgrade our computers and all software). Which ever platform we choose, we will need to get basic graphics software, Photoshop, web design software, etc as well as video editing sotfware.. We would like to know if anyone has any thoughts as to which software/hardware package is better (solid performance/best bang for the buck, fastest rendering speeds etc.) Avid Express or Apple Final Cut Pro. We do mostly event coverage/ corporate marketing videos and long-form independent productions. We also wish to do video packaging and provide content and design for our own web sites.
Because we are starting out again from an older non-linear system, ImMix Video Cube, and we also need to purchase a new computer(s), our platform choice is equally important to us as our editing software choice. All input is helpful and welcomed....thanks, Craig Hollenback abradabra@aol.com</HTML>
