Which one do YOU know how to use? Get that one. If you're not familiar with either then it makes very little difference."Local studio seeking young female actresses for short film in which they definitely will NOT be killed. Lack of identifying scars, dental records, or concerned family a plus. Payment to be discussed after shooting...uh...filming."

ok mts,
check to see if this link works for you. (its for the current dv magazine)
http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/newbay/dv0907/
if it does, go to pages 40-41. Article "Cutter's Way" It won't tell you which one to buy or rate them from one to the other, but it does give you a general idea of their strengths and weaknesses.

FCP has a really different interface than Premiere. If you've been using 1.5 Pro then the transition to CS3 should be very painless because it's essentially the same work flow.
Going to FCP means learning all the short cuts and such from scratch, which can be a very frustrating experience once you're used to working with another NLE."Local studio seeking young female actresses for short film in which they definitely will NOT be killed.

Good article siniarch. A little strange it's dated Sept. 2007, but it's not accurate. Avid discontinued it's overpriced Studio Complete bundle.

I didn't say FCP is better. I said your goals or career path can have an effect on what software apps you should learn. As it pertains to budget considerations, if I only had $2k to spend I would go with CS3.
FCS
Pro's: FCP, DVD Studio Pro
Cons: No Image editing tools (PS/IL), Motion isn't as mature as AE
CS3
Pro's: More for your money, integration between apps, includes PS/AE/Illustrator
Cons: Premiere knowledge/skills - low market demand

Just to affirm what milksac has already shared. Most people hire FCP editors not Premiere editors, and most people are hiring AE artists not Motion artists. I chose the FCP route 2 years ago, and I am happy with it. Although now that I am going to get into motion graphics I need PS and AE. Therefore, I hope to purchase cs3 in the future. I started on Final Cut and when I started to use Premiere I thought they are very similar. The whole bundles are very similar in a lot of ways, but with very important differences which have already been pointed out. Hope that helps you.Dan Johnson, Creative Director

I have a Hybrid Suite running both FCs2 and CS3 (Mac Pro).
My personal preference for EDITING is Premiere (CS3) and I could go on to write a long list why ( but I wont). Simply though I like dealing with the interface and its user friendly features which I feel are more advanced than FCP.
Then again I could write a long list of what I really like about FCS2 ( but again I wont).
Put another way ... I have a Suite of powerful apps that can do most things and I just pick the tool for the job. Its so easy to move the media assets (clips) around and across the many apps. in the Suites
Try and get some hands on experience with all the NLE apps on offer is my suggestion to the O.Pwww.shooterfilm.co.nz
