That is interesting. Do you use OpenShot?
No.  I primarily use Final Cut Pro X.  I know... A lot of people prefer Adobe Premiere, but I still prefer FCPX.  What is the current best rated editing program?
Adobe is popular. Do you dislike it?
No.  I don't think it is as user friendly as FCPX... especially for teaching.  Both are expensive.  I know today there are several quality free programs.  Do you know anything about any of those?
HitFilm Express has good cinematic capabilities.
Ok.  I may try that.  Any other free ones?  Now I do like Adobe products... I actually prefer After Effects to Motion 5.  
Do you have a Mac? iMovie is popular too.
Yes.  FCPX is an apple only program.  Motion 5 is too.  That is what makes it easier to teach FCPX.  The students come into the class familiar with imovie because of macs and iphones.  FCPX is very similar.  
FCPX seems to have the best organizing tools and skimming funtions.
Yes.  I think it does.  I have a quick camera questions.  I am currently looking for the best low cost 4k capable DSLR.  Any suggestions?
