HI RAY,
YOU HAVE A LOTA LOTA QUESTIONS AND I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANT TO GET UP AND GOING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THINGS CAN GET A BIT CONFUSING WHEN YOU TRY TO FIND TOO MANY SOLUTIONS AT THE SAME TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WILL GET TEN DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON EACH SUBJECT.
HERE IS A FEW POINTS —
I AGREE WITH ROBERT YOUR MACBOOKPRO IS WELL GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR PRESENT NEEDS- I EDIT HD FOOTAGE ON MINE NO PROBLEM.
I BELIEVE THAT FINALCUT IS THE BEST FOR THE MAC, I FOUND PREM PRO GOOD ON THE PC ESPECIALLY FOR BEGINNERS.
WITH EDITING FORMATS A LOT DEPENDS ON WHAT CAMERA YOU USE AND FOR WHAT OUTPUT PURPOSE.
I WOULD PRACTICE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY, ITS BETTER TO GET THE KNOW HOW FIRST THEN BUY THE TECK STUFF, YOU CAN SAVE TIME AND MONEY THIS WAY.
I FOUND VIMEO UNRELIABLE AND YOU CAN GET GOOD QUALITY UP ON YOUTUBE NOW IF YOU USE THE RIGHT FILE TYPES.
TANYA
