I've always considered myself mainly an editor (Final Cut Pro!).
However, I've come to realize that most of my income is made through graphic design work. The majority of my time working is designing a web site, logo, or print layout. And I enjoy it. A lot.
Whereas editing I can often get sick of. Well, to be more specific, I'm usually extremely lazy to start an editing job, but once I get the ball rolling, I'm a little bit more attached, but not entirely crazy to work. I'm often wishing I could do other things. Maybe it's because I've edited over 200 projects in the last 8 years? Editing does take a lot more patience. Maybe it's my 4-year old computer to blame? With increasing video resolutions, new software upgrades, and the normal wear and tear, the speed in which my computer can edit becomes slower and slower (not to mention putting out much more heat in my already boiling room = more frustrations). And I can't edit off my 2-year old laptop. But with graphic designing, I'm 100% attached and loving what I do even if I may not be the greatest. But I have yet to get into serious memory intense graphic designing.
I think I need a new computer. Yes, that's it. That solves everything.
