Sure it is, but then so is Avid, Edius, Final Cut, Lightworks, Smoke, and I am sure others. Avid and Smoke may have an advantage with large collaborative groups by design, and I have thrown together multiple editors using shared storage with a couple of MacBook Pros on location, but in the end, they are just tools. If I need to edit something on iMovie to get the project done on time I use iMovie. Everyone of them have things they do well and things not so well. The question really is how are you going to be using it, who do you have to share materials with, what formats do you need to be able to work with, and most importantly, which are you comfortable with to get the job done. In my own office I end up hopping between Final Cut, Premier, After Effects, Motion, and Cinema4D, plus other software, pretty much everyday I am working. It comes down to which tool gets something I want done the best and the fastest. |
