I am getting back in to video editing and I want to get new software. I have used Adobe premiere in the past but I recently heard of Avid Xpress Pro. Does any one know which is better?
Also, Im in college and I can get the cheaper student versions of both programs. Avid has an academic version of their software, is that the same as the regular version?
Thanks

I agree that Avid is the best. If you are just editing recitals and wedding Adobe is fine. If you look at Adobe's website, they show TV commercials done with CS3. If you want to go "Hollywood", you need AVID for sure. I recently saw Avid Xpress Pro for $50.00 on one of the academic software websites. BUY THAT! Avid let's you tweak every detail. Final Cut Pro is almost like comparing Apples to Apples, but there are a few details that you still cannot tweak in FCP.
Avid comes with a really cool 3D Animation tool and has basic text creation. FCP comes with a really cool text effects tool called Motion and no 3D. I like Apples DVD authoring tool the best. If you require very nice movie introduction text, you should check out FCP. All of the programs let you buy third party applications for text and 3D.
Buy them both while you are a student. I just bought CS3, because I was in the middle of a project in Premiere 1.5. I did not want to go through the Avid learning curve if there is one.
If I was not in a hurry to finish the project, I would have bought Avid without question.
BTW.. I just searched for the $50.00 software. I can't find it. There is a $50.00 rebate right now.

Windows video editing software:
Free download the trial version: Adobe After Effects

Sony Vegas:

You'd better get a total video converter. If you can't import some special video formats into the video editing software, directly change the format with this video converter.
