I am gonna the plunge for FCP3 (my wife can get it for $299, educator discount)... but I hear that an FCP4 is comming out soon.... anyone know if its worth the wait, or is it just hard core stuff that a home user won't need anyway?
thanks

You can't capture footage with Express???
So I guess you would capture with iMovie?

An academic version of FCP 3 sounds better than Express.

I find it offensive that you people would be talking about stealing software on this site especially since it has nothing to do with the question being asked. It's a smack in the face to Apple (who has provided us some great software for free) and to us professionals (who actually pay for thier upgrades).
If you are going to steal your software, kindly keep it to yourself!!

Hmmm, there are a lot of things different in FCe, jumped the gun a bit there.
But still, what does apple have in store for us pro users? Hopefully an amazing leap!

thanks for the list...makes the decision for anyone who does this for a living a no brainer, and actually makes the argument that Premiere may not be dead afterall. I hope it isnt. i don't use premiere anymore, but it's a great way to get into higher end NLES work. i was worried that this release would ensure no premiere 7 on mac, but it seems like there are plenty of reasons to go premiere over FCE.

Firstly I'll mention, my post is a NO flame zone.
Now, what would you use Premiere for that you could not use FCP for? I have not seen bluescreen in FCP, have I just missed it or is that one big thing to use Premiere for?

yeah, you've missed it...
it's in the built in fcp effects... KEY-> blue and green screen
it's understandable to miss it, as you don't use fcp... but indeed, it has pretty much anything one could ask for, especially anything that premiere has.
the only real reason i could see using premiere (having used both), is that you're so set with the layout and set up of premiere, that you can't be bothered to learn fcp. but i assure you, there's nothing to "learn". it's all very intuitive.
i'd suggest checking it out if you can.
