yes, I do use the ages old DVD Studio Pro for authoring DVDs as I have since 2005.

I'm doing a project tonight that is audio intensive, so I converted the AVCHD camera files to .mov, and then spent a couple of hours editing (me as the director out of) the audio, adding a brand new music track, as well as sweetening the live sound of the shoot - all in FCP (3 years old) !

It was sooooo much fun to be using FCP (3 years old) again!

As soon as I know that FCP X can handle raw AVCHD files, I'll be on it. There's times I need Acrobat and DreamWeaver from the Adobe Cloud subscription as well, but not life or death now that I create my PDFs by PHP script.

I guess could do all of my projects, again, by first converting AVCHD to MOV and then using FCP or FCP X, I just thought I should give Premiere Pro a try, and save the conversion step - but PP is so much harder than FCP.

And when the software is hard, the creativity is stifled, when my brain is so worn out from the archaic PP GUI.
