How are you editing your Pocket Cam footage? at DVinfo.net

I really want to like Resolve but I'm finding it takes way to much time for me to get the images I want and it's such a different NLE system that I jump backing into Premier. Are there any benefits to editing in Resolve? How is everyone editing their log footage?

I would not consider Resolve to be an editing solution. I am using the FilmConvert plugin for Sony Vegas. Very good results and easy to use. The full version has more color grading options and they offer plugins for other NLE's. Resolve is a color grading solution that I am going to learn but in the interim Filmconvert has raised the fun quotient of the Pocket Cam.

I'm using premiere cs6 to edit. I'm holding off on Filmconvert until raw recording is available so I can experiment with that workflow. The thought of applying some really good presets like VSCO to the pocketcam footage in Lightroom is appealing and it would make like a lot easier for me as I'm the worlds worst colorist and finding the time to become competent is difficult.
