Favourite video editor?

Windows Movie Maker anyone?? Blahahaahaha jk..(no really thats what i've been using and thats why i came here BECAUSE im sick of it). I'm either stuck between vegas or final cut. I just want to cut and put words and music in the background of videos tbh. I don't do anything difficult so yeah lol.
 
Hi guys (and gals),

I started using Windows Movie Maker, some years ago, a few random montage tests.

Now I use Sony Vegas 12, you can see the results on my montages at our channel ツ

In a few days the biggest montage I have ever done will be released, it's getting really badass!

Translated into regular English: "Hey guys, I do badass montages! You should come check me out!"

Is it just me, or do I smell advertising? xD
 
I personally use Premiere Pro and After Effects. I find them to be pretty fun and intuitive to work with. Still learning new things every day though.
 
As much crap as it gets, I really do like Final Cut X. It does everything I need it to do and it lets me do my custom split screen effects.
 
I'm gonna shine in with many of you guys and say Adobe Premiere Pro. I used to edit some in Vegas Pro but personally I found Premiere Pro to be a little bit simpler and more intuitive.
 
I use Final Cut Pro 7 but I'm about to switch to Sony Vegas Pro 12..FCP 7 is just too easy to use but with SVP I can render in seconds and quality seems better.
 
In my earlier days I used to create my own scripts for Avisynth and use specialised plugins for stuff like transitions.
Nowadays I use PowerDirector which uses CUDA too. I'm happy with it.
 
I really like both Sony Vegas and Final Cut Pro X. As I work on both Mac and PC, I have had to use a variety of software suites, and those two have ended up as my favourites. While Sony Vegas is expensive and looks really complicated at first, once you have learnt how everything works, you find that it is fast and very efficient, as there is no 'fluff' and excess, just a very quick and simple interface. Final Cut on the mac on the other hand is the complete opposite. It is much more affordable, and also looks deceptively simple to use. However, it can take a while to fully appreciate how to get pass all its nuances. As it is so 'different' in design to alternative software suites, it can take a long time to get used to, however once mastered, it can really impress you with its slickness and thoughtful features, However, it can be laggy as there are tonnes of excess animations in the interface, but it does have 'live effect previews' and lots of music and sound effects for you to use free. So basically, if you are on PC, any version of vegas should suit you, and on mac, Final Cut. Simple
