Response to Editing DV projects cheaply

I am shooting on a Sony TRV510 and I edit on a iMacDV SE with Final Cut Pro. Last summer I edited a wedding I shot on EditDV and had a HORRIBLE time with this same problem (the iMAC DV comes with 13 GB hard drive space which holds exactly 42.8 minutes of footage). I quickly got rid of editDV and and invested in Final Cut Pro. FCP allows you to save an edited portion of your footage to its own FCP file allowing you to erase source clips and free up hard drive space. To my knowledge FCP is one of the only software systems that allows you to do this, so it may be worth the investment. On a side note, I saved almost $500 off the price of FCP by purchasing from eBay. However if you are going to use ebay or any other private seller, make sure it is a legit unregistered copy, ther are a lot of swindlers out there... anyway email me if you have any more questions or you just want to chat film.
