@kidslow I have done video/audio for small business and non-profits since 2013, for money. Now bigger projects cross my table that do indeed require (more) assistance from others including mixing, colorgrade, graphics, music score and so on. Sorry to be so shallow, but a teacher once advised that if you are being paid for your work, than you are a pro. However much a pro is up for debate. Now I do not get paid a lot, so I cannot afford the OSX ecosystem. I generally dualboot between Linux and WindowsOS. However, I have had ongoing issues with WindowsOS, like files playing 'hide and seek', hard drive mounting issues, stability among other problems not present in Linux. I am told the really big film studios use Linux, and with good reason. Currently, I have Reaper, Harrison Mixbus, and DaVinci Resolve Studio on the Linux side of things. I have used Lightworks, on Linux, for a year, it is a good program but awkward (it is mostly keyboard based) for someone trained on Adobe CC. I may give Lightworks another try because of recent interesting improvements. At this juncture, for collaboration, things seem to work out. People send the files I receive. However, I do have to hold my nose and go to WindowsOS to run specialty programs like audio repair or Topaz labs.
