Pie Chart Showing Results of Editing Software Survey

Thanks to everyone who took the survey!

The results are pretty clear. We need to develop some tutorials around Adobe Premiere Pro. The problem? I've never edited on this software, so I would need to either 1) Develop enough knowledge to train on it, or 2) Get someone else to create the training.

I have a friend who has been editing on Adobe Premiere Pro for years. Also, he's entertaining and energetic, so I'm looking at maybe having him create a course. We're talking about that right now... Stay tuned to see if this goes somewhere.

Don't worry, Final Cut users. I will continue to create tutorials about Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro. It's what I use and know, so it's what I'm best at.

Please help me make this decision by answering this one basic question...

Edit: Please use the poll instead of leaving a comment. It will make it hard for me to tally results if the answers are outside the poll.

Also, I have intentionally left out other options because these choices are the requests I receive the most. So I've limited the poll to them.

Thanks for the help!
