READER Q&A - Avid vs Final Cut - What do I pick?
Hi, I am a high school student who enjoys creating videos and movies. I have worked with many different editing softwares, but neither FCP nor Avid. I plan on going to college for this and am wondering which software do you think is better for me? I can get either one, and I want to create high quality films.
READER Q&A - How do I learn Final Cut Pro?
I am fairly new at producing television commercials, and most recently I wrote and produced a documentary. My partner who recently moved from Hawaii to Alaska, edited all our work. Since we worked all the time, I had no time to learn the editing process which I so much want to do. I'm not completely green to FCP but hands on... never. I recently moved to Oregon from Hawaii and finally have some time to learn. I was told there is a Thompson Masters Series that is for beginners to advanced in Final Cut Pro. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

READER Q&A - How to find work in Toronto, Canada?
I have been an audio engineer/mixer here at the 2nd biggest production facility in the US located in Nashville, Tennessee since early 1996. I was wondering what the production climate is like up there in Ontario? The reason I ask is that I'm getting married next month to a Canadian woman and moving to Windsor. I'm Pro Tools certified and have worked on FCP, Vegas, Digital Performer, Nuendo, Logic, etc.. I know that Toronto and Windsor are a few hours apart, but wanted to get your opinion on production in Ontario since you've been in the industry there as long as I have here. Any pointers, insights, and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you....
