What is the best program for video editing? And why?

We can not say Which is the BEST program for video editing, but whichever you can use to achieve what you want.

Final cut pro 7 it was the best in earlier times, but the latest version of final cut pro x received many criticisms, but it is still unique in the use of effects and the fact that you don't have to transcode the media before editing but I recommend it as an editing tool for the uncomplicated projects. to be honest, i don't find a magnetic timeline is an attractive option I prefer the old style of video/audio tracks.

so if you are experienced Final Cut Pro editor you will not find so many problems in transition to premiere it's almost similar and updated with the latest features and Adobe Premiere Pro is part of the Adobe Creative Suite and it integrates with Photoshop, Aftereffects, and other Adobe programs and take advantage of  server-based editing system so many editors can work on the same projects from remote computer with different operating systems.

Premiere + after effects You can also add stuff from the rest of the Adobe suite. Vectors from illustrator, compositing with photoshop then importing layers directly into after effects. AE's combination of 3D and 2D layers makes it a very flexible tool

Premiere + after effects = <3Plus you can add stuff from the rest of the Adobe suite. Vectors from illustrator, compositing with photoshop then importing layers directly into after effects. AE's combination of 3D and 2D layers makes it a very flexible tool, as well. Check out Video Co-Pilot.net if you need AE tools, scripts, projects and tutorials.

Cheers and happy editing!

Well to start with all three of them are exceptional and are very good.  Now If you're using a PC than I would suggest that you move away from final cut since its not support much by them, since its a Mac only software.  

Like I said all three are amazing but I personally like Final Cut because its super user friendly, you can learn to move around it quickly and it gives you plenty of start up presets that will allow you to create professional and outstanding content.  

Actually their is no one the best its all based on what you learn and your country use.

 adobe has a perfect circle with its own products and other softwares like maxon cinema4d for3d and the after effects you can do what ever you need without render it

sony vigas and final cut and premiere these programs has the same target to edit and export and some of the cc, titles, some of the keying for green screen and other things, you need to chose what you wont to learn based on the market in your country what use.

thanks all

its just my point of view

premiere on PC and final cut pro on mac, as premiere runs the video smoothly and its so easy to understand and final cut pro gives an added advantage of filters, effect and transition
