We (Mike, a photographer and Lisa, a graphic designer) are currently working in South Africa independantly. We are starting a new business together shifting our focus from printed media to digital media. We will be purchasing a digital stills camer, and a video camera (canon XL1), plus sound equipment (any suggestions). At the moment we operate on a PowerMac 750 and G4 400Mhz. Our existing software comprises Photoshop 5, Freehand 8, Flash 4, Go Live 4, QTVR authoring studio. We know we need more. But there is soooooooo much out there. We have looked at the following: After Effects, ShockWave, Final Cut Pro, QuickTime, ImageReady, ImageStyler, Cleaner 5. We are confused. Where do we start???!

First, I suggest you to post your questions in the 'multimedia' forum because few people read this one.

The softwares that you already have are good. I think that you will need to buy a video editing application (Premiere, Final Cut...) and Quicktime Pro.
