Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 Description:

Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 review:
5 stars (Incredibly Powerful and Incredibly Easy) - I usually hate the Adobe user interface. They make incredibly capable applications but using them has always been a trial for me. That was not the case with Premiere Pro. It is quite simply a joy to use.



Ease of use is generally indicative of a simple and limited program. That is not the case here. It is an extremely powerful application that can handle a wide variety of video editing tasks. That is what makes it worth the price tag. That it has a mostly well thought out interface and is easy to use is just a very appreciated bonus.



The strength of this software is in its editing capabilities. It has a few bells and whistles but those are usually better handled by third parties. The basic engine that drives it all, however, is superb. I cannot recommend this program highly enough. It is worth the price.


5 stars (Adobe Premiere Pro rocks, don't buy this though) - If you wanna learn digital video editing, Adobe Premiere Pro is superpowerful has great effects integrates amazingly with Photoshop and after affects and encore DVD.



DON"T BUY THIS though!

if you're going to buy this spend the extra $300 on the video collection. It is well worth it with that, you get Adobe aftereffects adobe encore DVD Adobe audition and premiere Pro. For $300 extra. That is well worth it!

Have some fun and get it done
5 stars (Solid Cutting) - Adobe Premiere is far from the most advanced non-linear video editing package you can get however let me make this one comment.



- Editing is all about cutting and not fancy effects. The strength of the project is what is in front of and behind the camera not fancy effects.



I would never recommend using any of the effects on any of the non-linear video editing packages anyway. Get dedicated effects packages if you really want to do your special effects well.



In short Adobe Premiere is the BEST cutting software and the EASIEST to use. The learning curve is slightly steep but you will be cutting your footage within a day or two with this one.



An editor cuts and arranges media. Adobe Premiere does that perfectly. I recommend this like no other for the price but if you are looking for pro packages then go elsewhere and be prepared to pay five figures with extra hardware. If you want special FX this has some but no pro uses these effects tool. Premiere is a first class cutting tool. Go to Discreet products for FX.
