The UI is probably the best among all tools, however, there are many areas where Premiere is lacking, especially with bugs and stability issues that are slow to be resolved. Pros The UI is solid, packed full of features, integrates so nicely with other adobe software like photoshop and after effects. Cons There are numerous bugs that have existed for years and still haven't been resolved. Its more laggy and not as stable as alternatives such as Resolve. Alternatives considered [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.capterra.com/p/209733/DaVinci-Resolve/) Reason for choosing Adobe Premiere Pro Premiere is slightly more intuitive and with a slightly more seamless UX although Resolve is more stable.

I use it daily for my job as a video editor. It's lacking in a new places like graphics, but it works with Adobe After Effects so that's fine. Pros Adobe Premiere Pro has been a great video editing tool. It's easier than Avid and has more options than Capcut or Imovie. Cons When new updates are rolled out sometimes the software is glitchy and the software will crash. It usually takes a few months for it to fix itself with updates. Switched from [Media Composer](https://www.capterra.com/p/234585/Media-Composer/) It was a cheaper options at the time. Avid now has a monthly subscription option that's about the same.

February 22, 2026 5.0 Adobe has been an amazing app that has helped me in smooth, result-oriented production for my projects. Pros It is fast and easy to use, even for a new user who can easily use it and edit either video or audio. Cons It takes time to load videos, making it hard to use in a fast-paced environment where a lot of production is done. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Adobe Premiere Pro is easier to use and more effective to use. Review Source MD Malcolm D. Owner Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Worst Editing application of 2025" October 10, 2025 1.0 Terrible customer support. Extremely slow compared to Resolve. There isn't a single thing Premiere attempts to do that Resolve can't do cheaper and faster and more intuitively. Pros Literally the worst editing application I've ever used. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME LEARNING THIS SOFTWARE. Literally invest your time in ANY OTHER EDITING APPLICATION. Cons Fails on basic functionality like basic exports. There is no good resource for finding solutions to the se basic problems. The color grading interface is a joke. Review Source Lauren S. Administration Associate Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Professional video editing platform" January 9, 2026 4.0 Pros Adobe Premiere Pro is great for editing long form and short form videos. I like the desktop setup more than other editing platforms that are geared to being mobile friendly. There are so many features to explore which makes it great for all uses. Cons The updates the Adobe makes to the program are great but hard to keep up with. It's confusing when their systems/processes change with basic updates and you have to relearn the program.

September 28, 2025 5.0 I have been using it for about 15 years, previously at the college on their computers when I didn't have a laptop powerful enough to run it. But now computers are a lot cheaper and I can do a student subscription and work at home all hours into the night. At least at the college, the computer lab closed and I'd have to quit. HA! Easy to spend 8 straight hours having video editing fun at home. Pros I have the student subscription so it isn't expensive. I have created a lot of videos with it and it's easy to use once you get the hang of it. I haven't needed to contact support because it works well. It's fast and works well. The projects use it for are to create music videos for YouTube of my original songs. Cons If you have to pay full price, it can get expensive. Sometimes it glitches and doesn't render, so you have to trick it and render a small section at a time instead of the whole thing. Also, sometimes the color gets a bit off if you export and then import it back in, you'll see a colors shift. Maybe it's some setting I'm not aware of. Switched from [iMovie](https://www.capterra.com/p/207187/iMovie/) I don't use Macs anymore and the windows free movie editor sucked. Plus I needed something more professional with more features.

December 2, 2025 5.0 It has been great! I have been able to create high quality videos with advanced animations that really bring my designs to life. Pros I love the versatility and control the program affords me. With all of my videos I have total control over every detail. Cons I wish I could slip from keyframe to keyframe by the push of a button when animating. But other than that it is great. Switched from [Final Cut Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233399/Final-Cut-Pro/) I heard Premiere Pro was better so I wanted to try it out. Review Source CC Cyrus C. Creative Content Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User Friendly Video Software With Bugs" March 12, 2025 4.0 Premiere Pro is a great entry-level and user friendly editing software that frequently gets bogged down by bugs and glitches after updates. Pros Premiere Pro is the most user friendly video editing softwares I've used. Cons Updates lead to crashes and bugs, which discourages trying new features. Alternatives considered [VEGAS Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/196011/VEGAS-Pro/) Reason for choosing Adobe Premiere Pro I already had the Creative Cloud, and Vegas is only for Windows (I use a Mac) Switched from [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.capterra.com/p/209733/DaVinci-Resolve/)[Media Composer](https://www.capterra.com/p/234585/Media-Composer/) DaVinci is kind of confusing to me, and Media Composer is way too expensive and complex for the simple videos I'm making for work.

Pros I like the fact that Adobe Premier is and has always been a professional program since I started Editing videos. Cons It is more Professional but please hear me well, there is nothing wrong with being professional it just, makes it hard for new customers or people who are just beginning in video editing it is not easy for them. Alternatives considered [Pinnacle Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/233263/Pinnacle-Studio/) Reason for choosing Adobe Premiere Pro I chose Premier pro because it was more consistent and professional so I wanted something reliable and professional.

Communications Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rock-Solid Editing Program" March 27, 2025 4.0 I have used premier for years and will continue to do so moving forward. I have never needed any other software. Pros Premier has all the tools that I need to make a video in most cases. I really appreciate that, in most cases, I don't have to use other programs before exporting. Cons Because of the sheer amount of things you can do in Premier, the menu layout can be a little overwhelming, making important features difficult to find. There is an attempt to fix this with the "Workspaces" function, but even so, some simple tasks, like captioning a video, can be hard to locate. Switched from [Final Cut Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233399/Final-Cut-Pro/) Final Cut shifted it's target audience a while back and I had to find another program that had the tools I needed.

I have been intimidated to hop on this software, as I always assumed it was for professionals. But it can do professional work at a very approachable learning curve. Cons The cost of Premiere Pro is something that has kept me from opting in for a while. Switched from [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.capterra.com/p/209733/DaVinci-Resolve/) I wanted something that was easier to use and produced higher quality products. Premiere Pro has been that for me.

June 23, 2024 5.0 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. Alternatives considered [Filmora](https://www.capterra.com/p/186540/Filmora/)[Adobe After Effects](https://www.capterra.com/p/233259/Adobe-After-Effects/) Reason for choosing Adobe Premiere Pro Easy to use. Cross platform. Runs on Mobile devices. Projects can be synced to Adobe Creative Cloud (Adobe CC) Review Source AI Austin I. Digital Media Production Creator Animation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Adobe Premiere Pro Review" February 18, 2025 5.0 Great I'm glad I made the choice to stick with it. Pros It's hard to go wrong with any Adobe products. I've been a Premiere Pro user since 1996 for my video production business. It's a good program and it's not hard to learn there's a lot of help and tutorials online if you need any extra help from some of the gurus that I've seen out. Cons The only downside for some people I think would be the monthly subscription, if you don't conduct enough business to use premiere pro it might be better if you stick with a cheap or free version of some other video software. But if you are truly interested in being a videographer /editor where it produces an income; there's no better program then Adobe premiere pro and it's worth it if you're making money. I would say get the whole suite because it's cheaper that way and you have access two more applications Photoshop Premiere Pro, After Effects Adobe audition and a few more, but those are the main ones.

May 3, 2025 4.0 We've been able to produce professional quality videos for client campaigns to help our studio keep a high level of creativity while meeting the tight deadlines. Pros Adobe Premiere Pro allows me to manage this kind of work-step, making me in charge of everything from color correction to volume levelling. I love how seamlessly it works with After Effects if I need to work in some motion graphics. Cons It tends to be quite resource-intensive on my computer, particularly when working with 4K projects, so I’ve had to purchase more powerful hardware. Review Source MP Marta P. Editor Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Industry standard for a reason" April 3, 2025 5.0 Pros Great product with many capabilities. There is always something more to learn in premiere. Cons The nature of a recurring cost is my least favorite aspect of adobe products at large. With Adobe in general, I'd like to see the same shortcuts from platform to platform ie ⌘M to export on all platforms and not just Premiere. Review Source JAC John Angelo C.

Director of Visual Media Photography Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Videographers NEED THIS" February 18, 2025 4.0 Overall I give the software 7/10 and will still recommend it to friends and associates. Premiere pro will always get the job done. You just need a powerful computer to keep up the speed. Pros It is the industry standard and gives you quality beyond other softwares. You can do several things with this software and have few limitation except for your imagination. Cons The software randomly crashes and will leave you in a bad position if you are not saving your work periodically. Premiere pro also move extremely slow at times when importing large files.

" September 27, 2024 4.0 Pros It’s a great program with tons of capabilities plus all the basic stuff you’d expect from a video editor. Cons The learning curve! Compared to CapCut or Final Cut Pro this is difficult to a level, in my opinion that’s unnecessary. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer DIgital Operations Executive Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Not the leading one, but quite close" June 19, 2024 5.0 Overall, it is a great tool, especially for those beginning to edit video that will not need a thousand different plugins and post production tools. It is simple, a little limited, but great for smaller projects. Pros I like the fact that you can jump with little to no experience and start editing videos, adding transitions, and working on color correction right out of the box. It is very intuitive and easy to use Cons The fact that it is not yet up to standards with the likes of daVinci or Final Cut, regardless of the functionalities, the biggest caveats for me are the limitations that being tied to Adobe Cloud can bring.
