Thanks to all who responded with helpful advice in my decision between Adobe and Final Cut Pro. After a LOT of thought, it's looking like I'm going the Final Cut route. The two biggest reasons--the majority of freelance editors in this area know FCP, but don't know or aren't as familiar with Adobe, and the production houses in this area all have FCP, which would allow for a little easier transfer of projects if we're going back and forth.
That said, here's the list of what we're looking at:
(1) Mac Pro 2.8 GHZ QC, 2GB/2X5GB/2XSD
(1) 2 GB Kit Dimms Mac Pro
(2) 23” LCD Monitors
(1) Applecare Protection
(1) Final Cut Studio 2
(1) Mercury Elite Firewire 500 GB
(1) Final Cut keyboard
I'm more familiar with the creative end, not so much the tech end, thus, PLEASE feel free to chime in. Any thoughts on whether this is sufficient or whether I should be going a different route on the order?
Thanks!
