I'm not an expert in the field of editing, but I plan to be, and I did have the opportunity to use Adobe Premiere 6.5 (in conjunction with Adobe After Effects, version 5.5, I believe) in a video editing class at my college. I think it's a fantastic program with a lot of possibilities.While I can't say that I knew what to do with the program when I first sat down with it, I did get a lot of time to experiment. By the end of semester, I was quite deeply in love with the program. I found the A/B editing mode to be very useful - not only for simplicity's sake, but also because of the use of transitions. All the projects I handed in had a simple "fade to the next video bloc" transition in it.Another thing I really liked about Premiere was that it played my video in real time. In After Effects, the computer system got a bit bogged down and wouldn't play video at 29.97 fps. But in Premiere, if I wanted film to play a certain speed, by George it went.Capturing the film from camera was also very simple. Hook up the Firewire, tell it to capture, and with one exception (being a college network failure), it captured every time.If you plan to buy this product, please:-Have a Firewire connection. (Quite key.)-Have a large hard drive. I filled a thirty gigabyte hard drive in five months, with four projects' worth of film.-Have a lot of RAM. "At least a gig!" all the geeks in class declared. I worked with 500-some megabytes of RAM, and was told that I was operating at the bottom threshold of memory. More is better.-Have a good camera. (Oh really, d'ya think?!)-Have a lot of fun with it. I wish to pete I'd had more than just a semester to work with this program. While not intended to do all the special effects of After Effects or other S.E. programs, it fulfills every expectation I had of it.Highly recommended! Good Stuff!! |
