I first learned to edit using a copy of Premiere (version 5), fell in love with it and bought myself a video card with Premiere 6 included (the Pinnacle Pro One, I think). Though I've never worked in post-production, I do very much enjoy editing (maybe it's because I don't work in post ;-) I then upgraded to the Production Studio CS2, bought all of the Total Training DVD's and learned to use it properly. I've since upgrade to CS4 and just love using Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro. Have done a couple of private projects and a wedding, but will probably continue to focus on my core skills which are programming-related.
