FCP is sexy.

Isn't this the "Cinematography" forum?

No, but it sure does help!

Wow. That's probably the single most misguided post I've read on this forum. Editing is akin to a second chance at directing the film. It has everything to do with finding the tone, setting the pace and building the structure. A good editor is like a great musician or chef. He'll ofen use his ear and sometime his nose to find the right ingredient for his art. The most important tool an editor has is his heart not his NLE. It might sound corny but it is absolutely true.

WHAT?

I am not going to go out, and make personal attacks like others on Reduser (and I am not talking about "sparkhope"), but I did NOT say a better digital editing suite was going to make you a better editor...if you just look at my post, I started out by saying NO! But I think EVERYBODY would agree, an NLE like FCP OR Avid, allows the editor to edit quicker, and more efficiently...therefore, "IT HELPS!"

That to ME personally, is a NO BRAINER!

Am I the ONLY ONE? Apparently not, since rebusfilm's post.
