I had heard, previously, that Avid was the superior software in the film industry -used for more high budget productions. That was the rumour anyway. And yet, I found the operation of Avid rather constricting (so far) compared with Final Cut.
Although we have only had one lesson on Avid (and I'm sure it will become more clear as the course rolls on) I still prefer Final Cut. This is mainly because it seems easier to 'tweek' the edit than it is in Avid.
Technical preferences aside, our first editing class went very well -and without too much confusion. I was previously on the fence as to what I should take as a specialism, the choices being between camera and editing. Although I enjoy camera more than editing, I really want to direct and so was considering the editing option instead -because editing concerns more story elements. However, I am now fairly certain that I would in fact make a terrible editor and wouldn't enjoy it much either. Therefor I think I'll be opting for Camera.
