for sure....
whats funny is 99% of the people posting about this and that and this and that... will only use 10% of what the NLE is capiable of...
I know why you want to learn avid.. I don't blame you... in california any post house that is anything is avid.. if you don't know it you are nothing to them... you can give the best product via final cut but if that house is not on final cut your useless to them...
I think you will learn avid very very fast... it's so much like liquid old school pinnacle... I think you will pick it up within a month.. at that point it's just where everything is and some order of operations are different...
Id go avid but I like to edit as I roll... if I spend a few days outside of "the box" I got my macbookpro with fcp on it so im in my rhelm of what I know and need... I would say more studios use avid than FCP.. another reason Im sure you want to learn it... but with you I don't think the word learn I would say get used to...
have you seen smoke? rediclous features.. it's like having avid, aftereffects, color, motion, plus anything else all in one....

this is where it's all going to.. I sat in on this hott chick editor from cali at a demonstrastion at NAB she was so fast but she edits for ESPN so all the fancy shit espn does on the fly is done with smoke... it will cut workflow time in half... but it's 100k or more
