editing trials and tribulations

well ive been editing the two projects we have been doing and getting stressed when meeting some problems along the way and finding it a rewarding experience when everything goes well.

im editing my individual project in premier pro CS3 and whilst being familiar with the programme and finding it is actually not so accessible when going into advanced features, it doesnt really go into the depth you get in FCP 6 like at uni. it may be that i have been spending more time with FCP as i have been spending more time on the group project to date which has been edited with a apple mac, and not had time to try out techniques learnt in class at home on Premier. ill have to spend some time getting used to using it or upgrade to PPCS4 and try again :)

few problems, my dodgey pc doesnt seem to like at the moment, keep getting the blue screen of death, not good. and the fact i didnt realise that FCP on the power book was set up for HD720 and not 1080i and so had to render every little bit i had edited every now and then. frustrating to say the least.

otherwise its been pretty good and i can safely say i reckon that it doesnt matter which programme is used to edit with, but as FCP is currently 'standard' i will be using this as often as i can. i wonder if i can find a mac OS that would run on an ex windows set up...
