I am about to buy a new editing system and I was wondering what you guys think is a quality system. thanks.

Final cut pro and an Apple powerbook are some of the best in the industry, thats how cold mountain was edited!

Well using the same logic, TheOne... 90% of all movies you see in theatres are edited with Avid

How's that for best in the industry?

You just pulled that statistic right out of your ass, didn't you?

The whole Cold Mountain thing was a big publicity stunt. It is one of a handful of feature films cut on FCP.

The rest of them, (J.Michael is right with around 90%) are cut on an Avid.

They are cut with Avid Media Composer systems, usually 4 or so, linked together with the Unity shared storage system.

I don't know... as far as feautres go, yeah. Avid.
But on the indie scene, on more unknowen movies that go to maybe a couple theaters seem to be cut with FCP.

Or, that's what my indie film mags have mentioned.

**** it... I know nothing.
