New to editing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello. I'm an 18 year old college kid, I attend UCF in Florida. I am contemplating changing majors to digital media, because it has cought my intrest. I am currently working with Windows Movie Maker though. It is nice, but I feel it is restricted. Which program would you suggest? I automatically choose Adobe because I love photoshop.

Sorry I sound so ignorant, but I'm just starting out. Thanks a lot in advance.

Would you suggest Adobe Premiere 7?

I would suggest you use whichever application you will use at school

Well the thing is I have to wait until Jan. to take my digi media classes since I've already made my schedule for this coming semester, and I'm already full time, definitely can't take on another class. So I was going to get familiar with editing in general. Would you recommend Premiere Pro 7?

... in suggesting that you try out whatever software you are going to use in school. In the meantime, however, why not download some demos of editing software (Pinnacle Studio, Adobe Premiere, Avid, etc.) and try them to see what you would be comfortable with. At least that would give you a general idea of what editing is all about. Another idea is to pick up a few books or search online for some tutorials to give you some information about different software. Good luck to you!
