What we use, what is best and what is simple are all different things ...
depends on what your trying to achieve .. if all you want is to cut WMV's or Mpegs then A lower level program like sony vegas willl do the trick .. but if you're gonna need something wih more Punch then you need to be looking at some real time cards rather then just a platform ... Software can't do it all alone .. you need the right hardware to go with it .. It's easy to say FCP is the best .. but without the right HArdware FCP is just an imaging softwAre nothing more .. the same can be said of Abobe ...
Rephrase you question ...
What type of editing Platform and hardware do you find most useful for your product?
Personally I like using Matrox real time products. Matrox combines it's hardware with ADobe .. and in the last year it's made some awesome improvments. The New Matrox RTX.2 is the way to go. Realtime HD editng, with the new bundle, CS3(photoshop and premiere, on location ..etc) you can Color correct pre capture! also the new cs3 bundle and RTX.2 real time card allows for mutlipule camera edits.. if your in the market for an HD ready suite I strongly suggest you look at the MAtrox rtx.2 before any apple product. Dollar for dollar you can get much more out of build it yourself system like the RTX.2 with say a dual or quad P4, min 2 gig ram ...etc
If your going with apple I suggest the G5 Quad processor fully loaded FCP pro ...
does that help ya out any ?
