I used to use Adobe Premiere, then I switched to Digital Origins' EditDV (went to dv camera) and now I use the Applied Magic Screen Play. THis is a prosumer editing box that is closed (not a computer) but is real time and EXTREMELY easy to use. So if you don't want to go nuts trying to use your computer to edit your footage take a look at this product. You can find them on the web @www.applied-magic.com
