The transition from Final Cut to Premier wasn't that much of scary transition, the key tools are exactly the same as Final Cut. I found premier easy to work with but I was have difficulties with the sound edit, as I didn't know how to change the levels of a single cut of footage it seemed to chance the levels for the whole video. Once I talked to Keith who is a wizz kid with Premier he showed me how to change an individual clip level.
After talking to Keith I have learnt how to control the levels on Premier, its a lot like Final Cut Pro but you have to unlock the sound bar to alter the sound. I have went from what was a roaring river to a clam steam and from a zoo to a tranquil forest.
For me learning premier has given me more skills as an editor I am confident in both Final Cut and Premier editing systems and this will be a brilliant point on my CV. Now just Avid to accomplish to be the next Walter Murch.
