Bracketology: Imagineer Edition

It's a really great program. I still use Final Cut more often, but if I want to edit something quickly and easily, I'll use Premiere. The only thing that I'm not a huge fan of is the way clips snap together. It doesn't snap clips together automatically so I end up with a flash frame or two that I didn't notice and have to fix. It's not a huge deal, but it's a minor annoyance. It's a great program, though. It doesn't have a lot of the stupid interface problems that Final Cut has. You should totally look into it.

The snapping feature probably wouldn't annoy me as much as you because Pinnacle does the same thing and I've learned to work around it...but at first it was incredibly annoying!

To be fair to RM, he did great considering he hasn't been making videos as long as I, and also isn't sitting on professional level software, as I am. Professional grade studio software, creative suite, and access to AE templates and stock footage .

That always gives me a bit of an edge with videos.

IMovie can only take you so far, and I don't even think he has that. Windows Movie Maker was ok...until Windows 7. Now it's mostly unusable unless you are doing predictable family slide shows or something...

He used a public website video builder, and I think he used it quite well. I found his video enjoyable to watch, and did so a few times. What that shows me is that he's got the most important parts of video creation down. That's timing and flow. Those are the hard things to teach, not the actual content creation per se.

Toss this guy some access to more robust software, and I can see him killing it in the future!

I don't mine the Final Cut Interface, but then again I live in the Mac World most of the time so I am accustomed to the Apple love of certain layout structure. (It's a blessing and a curse)

Yeah. Final Cut's interface doesn't bother me quite as much as I elude to, but there are somethings that just don't make sense to me. I still absolutely love the program, though.

And England, oh my god the snapping feature it annoying. I'm sure I'll work around it eventually, but when I was using it, it was so frustrating finding those flash frames. Though, of course, it makes having a few seconds of black before a credits sequence so much easier to do, so I suppose it's a bit of a blessing and a curse.
