    Whatever my producer gives me to cut with. I trained on Avid Express, and have used Media Composer and Symphony since. I also edit with Final Cut Pro both professionally and for personal projects. My first student projects, though, were cut on Adobe Premiere, so there's that too. If you're going to be an film editor as your primary trade, it's a good idea to be familiar with a bit of everything.. You never know...  : )

    We've cut our previous projects on Sony Vegas Pro ver. 6 & 8. Learning Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4 for future projects.

    I currently cut all my projects on Avid Liquid Pro 7.2 which is an excellent program. The reason I initially choose it was because at the end of 2006 FCP was able to capture HDV directly from my JVC HD100 without an intermediate program. I am trained on FCP and Avid Media Composer.

    I know AVID, FCP and Vegas but I seem to enjoy working the most in Premiere pro. Something about the Adobe workflow just works well with my brain and the feature set in Premiere is amazing.

    In order of preference: Media Composer Grass Valley Edius PPro FCP (but it all depends on each project, sometimes FCP is the best fitting glove, sometimes Avid or Edius won't work for what we're trying to do in a project, etc)

    I've been using Adobe CS4 for about two years now and I've never felt the need to switch to FCP. The only reason I would use FCP would be because it is becoming the industry standard and would use it for a job. But my personal projects will be all done with Premiere.
    I also use After Effects for everything but the most simple of titles and transitions. AE offers much more flexibility in title design and animation as well as creating unique and stylized transitions. The linking feature between Premiere and AE makes it incredibly time effective to work with effects in real-time instead of constantly rendering and importing.
