In this promo video for a music school, I got to stretch my
wings a bit, and I had fun making the edit come alive with
quick cuts and flashes... all while still getting the messaging
across.

Video editing always came easy to me. I started editing on the Avid years ago, but eventually switched to Final Cut Pro. I have used Premiere, too. I suppose I am most proficient in FCP, but which one I edit on is of little importance to me. They are all sophisticated, advanced editing tools. Cutting is cutting, no matter which interface you do it in.

For me, it's all about telling a story. Moving the viewer in an emotional way. Making the meager magnificent. Holding on to (or cutting quickly from) that sequence to make it more impactful. Those kinds of decisions are what an editor does, and in the end, no one cares what software it was edited in.
