Editing question? « Videomaker Community Forums

I'm new to this site and also new to videography. I may have put the cart before the horse but, I purchased a new XL2 and now I need to look into some sort of editing tool.
I am considering an appliance from Applied Magic (Screen Play, Epic), or maybe having a P/C built with video editing being the sole function.

Just looking for some advice.

Anyone out there have any experience with Applied Magic?

Thank's, Reese

I have been using the Applied-Magic Screenplay editor for better than 5 years now. I recently upgraded to the "EPIC" version which has a 400gig HD. Capture is real time with DV or analog input. The wavelet format is the main strength of the cool editor, which means better quality. This editor is not PC or MAC based due to it's custom chip sets. Software enhancements are mailed to you free of charge- very nice! The user interface is designed to be simple and fast, with plenty of features selectable.
I used to linear edit with 3/4 inch, then bought the Screenplay- I haven't seen a faster editor for the money. This is a turn-key system, so you'll miss out on some of those PC issues.

My web page has a shot of the edit screen: http://www.kbvp.com
