Adobe Premiere Pro

A great and capable video editor, with flexibility and ease of use.

Comments: Overall, Adobe Premiere is a great video editing program and is fairly enjoyable to use. As long as your hardware and other specs are up to what they should be, there are minimal stability issues, and it performs pretty great, in my experience. I've tried several other video editing programs, and Adobe Premiere has remained my program of choice for several years now. The ease of use and getting started, the ability to customize my interface into a layout that works really well for me, and the ability to handle multiple types of media types without issue are just some of the features that I love. There is a large community of users that is easy to get support and tips/tricks from, as well as Adobe's support, which have always been responsive and helpful for me. While there are things that it could do better, as a whole it works really well with my workflow and video editing requirements.

Pros:

I really like how quickly I can get started editing with this program. I edit a lot of short form, fairly simple videos, and I like how I can just open the app, import my media, and get started. There's not a lot of hoops to jump through, and not a lot of setup that needs to be done just to get going. I love how easy it is to import a wide variety of media types. I rarely have issues with all the different types of media I work with. I love how quick and easy the timeline editing tools are, and using the keyboard shortcuts to quickly move back and forth and get a quick edit together before refining it further. The interface is also pleasant to work in, and not overly crowded or cluttered.

Cons:

I often wish that the keyframe editing window and workflow were though out a little better. I find it difficult to use and get them accurately placed and edited without some frustration most times. The keyframe workflow in After Effects is so much better and easier to use, and I feel like the workflow in Premiere is just so much more tedious then it needs to be. I also get frustrated with the audio mixing interface and workflow. Working with audio plugins and automation always gives me issues, and using EQs and compressors and what not are mildly frustrating at best. I don't understand why they can't lay out a mix window the same way that almost everyone else does. I get that it's not an audio program, but audio is a major part of video editing, and it shouldn't be this difficult to get a good mix inside the editor.

Premier Pro

Comments: My overall experience has been good, I have always had process in place to make sure I was never caught short. It is definitely best piece of editing software on the market and it warrants its industry standard title.

Pros:

Adobe premier pro is my go to piece of software for editing. We output high end commercials and its ease of use to be able to collaborate effectively with other editors as well as integrate Graphics it truly has become such a powerful tool. The new caption tools are making it more cost efficient and time efficient to do our jobs.

Cons:

Premier pro has a history of being fairly buggy, but over the years I have noticed they have worked on this and in turn less crashes and hold up to our implemented workflow.

Powerful and easy to learn video maker

Comments: I was worried that it would take me weeks to learn how to start being productive on this software. After a few short video tutorials I was working and productive that same day!

Pros:

You can get started editing videos very quickly with this software. You do need to do a little bit of the tutorials to get started but in no time at all, you are easily editing videos.

Cons:

The cost of Adobe pro is a little higher than some others. However, like most Adobe products, it offers a lot of features. If you just wanted to make a single or a couple videos though, you may be better getting a cheaper and less powerful system.

A good editing tool but poor customer service

Pros:

Adobe premiere was my editing tool. At that time, it was considered much inferior than Final Cut Pro. Then, the company really did a good job and turned adobe premiere into a professional editing tool. It works well with Protool and AfterEffect (unlike Final Cut Pro X), it can export all different format files that answers the needs in the film industry. The file organization similar to Avid and more flexible than Avid. It allows the remote offline editing. Wonderful. Caption is so easy to work with. It's compatible with all other adobe products, animation, aftereffect.....etc. It has good potential for what it can do for film editing. It offers different interface for different job, like editing, audio editing...etc, and also you can make your own set up as well. It's awesome.

Cons:

I have a list of Cons here, 1. Poor customer service. Most of the time, if there is a problem, you go online or YouTube to find solution. You don't get answer from the customer service. 2. Constantly they put out updated version, causing trouble for file sharing. Also it forces you to upgrade your editing hardware. If you have a lower version of the editing software, you gonna suffer so much bugs and problems. 3. Too little in the library, you have to pay extra, buy and buy as if the subscription fee is not expensive enough. 4. Not enough game for color correction. Very limited and poor. 5. Not enough transition tools and options, very basic and dry. 6. I wish the sound editing tools can be a bit more, right now it's really basic.

The Industry based video editing software.

Comments: Adobe Premiere Pro provides a feeling of being a Professional video editor. It is worth the pricing.

Pros:

Adobe Premiere is a Standard Industry Video editing tool. Easy tobuse, you can learn video editing in few days and become a Video editor.

Cons:

Consumes memory space on your PC. Exports videos in large size of data, might need to compress output with a good video compressing software.
