What does everyone use for editing?

When I first fiddled with film I used Final Cut Pro. And honestly, I find that to be a pretty decent start. But, since then, I really prefer Adobe Premier Pro and Adobe After Effects.
 
I'm about to try something new.

Avid has followed in the footsteps of Blackmagic Design and created a free version of its Media Composer Video Editor. I'm going to install it today and try it out.
 
So I use Premiere initially to look through the clips and get some nice cuts, establish the flow of the video. Then any graphics and subs I need I'll do in After Effects so I can get the freedom to do some stuff with the movement of those. Then I'll edit sound in Audacity, just with a noise filter and levelling generally so that might not be the best option for that. Finally I'll take it back into Premiere pro for the final sync with audio and video, add any non moving graphics and sound effects.

If anyone's interested in Adobe stuff they do a decent subscription package for their suite which includes all the good stuff for about £20 (£15 if you're a student) if you've got the money to spare.

Hey guys and gals,
Just a quick question here: what does everyone use to edit their videos?
I'm curious to know- I use Final Cut Pro X, which I hear is like the marmite of the editing world, you either love it or you hate it (I obviously love it).

Cheers,
Chris

Love Marmite. Hate Final Cut XDD
I've used Sony Vegas for like 9 years now, really intuitive and easy to use (apart from its backwards event pancrop handler...)[DOUBLEPOST=1499874663,1499874536][/DOUBLEPOST]

How´s your workflow with that?
Sony for the brunt work, render off small clips for AE and finish in Sony?
I´ve tried to do whole projects in AE but the navigation and audio handling is way too clunky.

Still good I use Sony Vegas Pro 13 to edit my casual let's plays without a lot of editing work and after effects for stuff like trailers, edits and etc.
