Thanks in advance!
For picture editing I'd say Avid is far more common around Hollywood, although I know a reality TV post executive who has invested heavily in FCP. I used to hear a lot of picture editors mocking FCP as being semi-pro, but I don't hear that as much any more. Still, I get the feeling that most prefer Avid. In terms of Pro Tools systems, I'd say that 90% are Mac based.
