I have been given a one year license to try out Premiere by Adobe but that is all. I am just a user, albeit bi-curious! Never listen to just my opinion, I am one person, I am often wrong, and much comes down to personal preference. This blog has always been about sharing my experiences since day one back in November 2007. This is what I am doing with this editing crossroads we are at.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just a quick note here as I just came across this. What with all the kerfuffle of FCPX and Apple&#8217;s discontinuation of my beloved FCP 7, many people including myself are looking at potential other options, especially until FCP X hopefully gets into a higher gear. Adobe are offering 50% the Production Premium suite or just Premiere. Smart money is Production Premium, as you get all the below stuff&#8230;you MUST get After Effects, it&#8217;s that that tips the scale currently.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14086 lazyload\" title=\"Screen shot 2011-07-11 at 15.58.13\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Screen-shot-2011-07-11-at-15.58.13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"171\" height=\"272\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 171px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 171\/272;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14086\" title=\"Screen shot 2011-07-11 at 15.58.13\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Screen-shot-2011-07-11-at-15.58.13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"171\" height=\"272\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>I am still getting my head around Premiere. Yes it is faster but I am an old bastard and so used to Final Cut, it&#8217;s just taking a few minor adjustments in my head. The integration with After Effects 5.5 is really smashing.<\/p>\n<p>Am I going to run with Premiere or still work with FCP? To be honest, currently I am doing both. For fast edits I am using FCP as I know it. I am still waiting and hoping FCP X gets a lot better, but in the meantime I am using Premiere as I have it and am getting used to it. Despite my previous joke I am actually a very fast learner. I learnt to edit tape to tape in one day at Sky News before doing the lead story with 10 minutes before air. Picked up Avid in about a day, so once your head adjusts to which software you use it&#8217;s fine. Like driving in Europe when I normally drive in England. Just remember not to drive on the left!<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to save some spondoolicks click on the banner below&#8230;use the code SWITCH.
