Usablity is a legitimate comparison factor. The program has to actually -work- of course; if it is buggy and stuff in the documentation simply doesn't work that's not a useful program. > Had to just dump all the Prem methods and start afresh. Principles remain the same but the steps are certainly different. Both are non-linear editing programs so I expect some sort of clip management as well as on capture some means of auto-slicing the video into clips. I can't imagine a NLE without timelines and tracks. The question is how they are presented. Avid seems to delight in multi-head systems. The fellow I met who is an Avid Symphony editor has 3 computer monitors plus two TV monitors all driven from the one Avid system. One computer monitor has the video clip under edit with some controls , one has the menus and so on (these form one virtual display twice as wide and the usual high). The 3rd computer monitor is the vectorscope. He does broadcast edit. Hope this is helpfull. Although I have recently purchased > Prem again, and I am currently looking at Vidcap cards.
