I teach my students how to edit on the Avid Xpress Pro platform. You can find them at Avid.com. The more expensive flavors of the program are responsible for about 70% of the current American cinema and television programming.

Good Luck with you decision.

I'd take a look at what Pinnacle Systems has to offer. I do home video editing and their low end packages are probably the best I've worked with. The user interface is second to none. I know they have several packages available, including higher end video editing software. Thier Liquid Edition looks promising.

high yeah thanks that is what is being replaced...im looking for more of an industry standard (like final cut pro but for pc)

Did you find out anymore information? If you are going to be in Miami at all you can shoot me an e-mail and come into my classroom to see the Avid in operation.
