Well I have used photoshop religiously since version 3.0 so Premiere maybe the best bet as I know adobe rocks.... though I am now on the strictest possible budget ( you can only imagine what two pro videographers cost- we skipped +$1000 more just for them to do an edited DVD!!!!) so the same or similiar functionality as premeiere but cheaper maybe better.
Oh yeah I need the power to do fairly complex sound editing as well. Like taking a song from one vidoe clip and putting over an intro montage. Does Premeiere have this sort of power or am I asking for too much? [img]smile.gif[/img]
