Top Video Editing Software From Sony

If you have used any Sony Software like Sound Forge or Acid Pro then Sony Vegas should be very familiar to you. It uses a similar interface and acts in the same way as most other Sony Software. Sony Vegas is a good editor but it has some downfalls which are mostly in the design and interface. Its a bit quirky for a video editor but all in all it is still a good video editor. It is a good start for video editors on a budget.

Apple's Flagship Video Editing Software

If you are a MAC owner then this is the software for you! Final Cut Pro rivals any of the big boy video editors in every way. Apple held back no punches when they built their editing master piece. The interface is smooth, fluid, and easy to navigate. Final Cut Pro offers multi-channel audio editing, duel viewers, and red camera support.

If I was a MAC user I would probably use Final Cut Pro exclusively.
