From a part-time content creator" May 14, 2023 5.0 I've had one of the best video editing experiences with this app. Sadly, I am a hobbyist and can not afford this app, plus their competitor provides a better choice of pre-made effects and media to use. It is my experience, yours can differ Pros Adobe Premiere provides solid functionality and anything needed for professional video editing. It has one of the best rendering and codec support, fluent integrations with the Adobe ecosystem, and a large enough popularity to find decent guides Cons I would not recommend this app to a student or a person that wants to "try themselves in this sphere". Pricing is on an Enterprise level and even discounts with special offers make it affordable for a hobbyist. Also, using this app is not enough for a full video editing process. It forces you to have After Effects to make your own effects and transitions and is highly attached to the Adobe ecosystem Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best video editor on the market - let's dive in it." May 1, 2022 5.0 My humble experience has been in this program for a long time, more than 7 years, every time I am very excited for the upcoming new releases, because in each new release comes very strong features, and through which I can save my time. Pros I will be with you very frankly, with each new release of Adobe Premiere, I am surprised by the amount of new features that save time for users. One of the most powerful new features is a special (review) that does the sharing of videos with your team or vice versa, in this feature you can download and rate their videos and share notes. The nice thing is that in the new versions, a bunch of sound effects of different types have been added inside Adobe Premiere Pro, so instead of looking for sites to download the effects, you waste your time. When I talk about saving time, I should mention discover scene editing, this is a feature that all users of this program will love, you won't imagine how much time it will save, it detects every new scene in the video and cuts it, it's really useful. Speed in exporting video, keyboard shortcuts, changing and modifying simple details, aesthetics in modifying video colors, all these features are present in Adobe Premiere Pro. I will never give up on him in my projects, because I lived with him for a long time . I can't wait for the next releases. Cons I think that the slowness when playing high-quality videos, is an annoying problem for me in this program. I also wish that more types and shapes of ready-made motion graphics were added.

Community Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A very powerful tool, but maybe a bit complicated for beginners " October 17, 2021 5.0 I've been using this editing software for almost 7 years, and all I could say is that is a great software in which you can import or create fantastic animations/ transitions / titles. It's totally friendly with the Adobe ecosystem. And if you got a very descent, or high quality hardware (16gb RAM at least), you'll have professional results. But in case you're a newcomer, you must know it might not be so easy to use at first. All you can do is practice, or look for a course/guide. Don't worry, it'll work out! Pros Premiere Pro is almost like everyone's main editing software, even Hollywood movies are sometimes edited here. That tells you a lot about its reputation. - It offers you almost endless possibilities of editing. - Works with proxies, so it becomes easier to edit if using heavy archives (it creates a low resolution archive of your original media but just for editing, so it saves memory and resources from your computer) - As it being part of the Adobe ecosystem, you can import or temporarily work with direct Photoshop, Audition, and more Adobe software projects. So you can be editing some audio at Audition, and then immediately head it over your Premiere project. And if there's something wrong, just go back to Audition without even closing any of the software, fix it, and then go back. Pretty quick and useful! - Frequent autosaving feature could save and entire night of work. Cons So, what's not so good about Premiere: - Compatibility of the archives: due to constant upgrades/ almost annual new versions, everytime you work on a newer version of Premiere, all of your current projects here won't be able to open on past editions, so it can be a bit of trouble. Specially if you're a beginner and not so aware of this kind of restrictions. For example, working on Adobe Premiere 2019 and changing the computer in which you'll continue editing? Better be sure you're having AP 2019, or posterior. Otherwise, you'll get stuck. - When you're new into this software, you might find it difficult to work with, due to the vast variety of options, customizable features, predetermined transitions and effects, and even the interface design might confuse you at first. - Also, being a high reputation editor, and offering so much as Premiere does, brings up a high cost subscription for the license. This could be kind of OK if it was a single payment, but unfortunately, it's paid monthly/annual. So it hits hard for those with not very high incomes (students, newcomers, freelancers, etc.) . -Despite the chance of being able to create a low quality archive for editing purposes (proxies), it still requires kind of high specifications for working on a very efficient way (not slowing down or freezing sometimes).

CEO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Adobe Premiere Pro, an ideal video editor for any Youtuber" September 2, 2021 4.0 Personally, after testing this video editor for so long, I have become very used to it, I like what it has to offer and it almost always does everything I ask for, sadly it doesn't allow me to create presets in some aspects like audio mixing, but generally, we can customize many functions of this video editor. I use other Adobe software regularly so the investment in Premiere Pro is less expensive, maybe it is not the best video editor, but it is a very good one and you will always find a tutorial to create what you have in mind. Pros I like Adobe Premiere Pro, it's a highly powerful software and I can always achieve great quality in every project I do in this video editor, sometimes I imagine Adobe Premiere as a sandbox, I can always create something from 0 in this video editor because it allows me to build and develop all aspects of a video or major post-production without the need to have to resort to other software to complete my idea. I personally believe that Adobe Premiere Pro is the ideal video editor for people who are familiar with photoshop and enjoy it because just like with that photo editor, the possibilities with Adobe Premiere are endless. Cons The Adobe Premiere Pro interface is disgusting, it's full of many menus and divisions that sometimes we will not use or simply aren't useful for our workflow, we can edit the video editor view, but at first, it looks very saturated and this makes us wonder where to start. We can only buy Premiere Pro if we pay the subscription to the Adobe suite, so if we only want to use a video editor, it can be expensive and not suitable for all budgets. So I would only recommend Premiere Pro for the multitasking editor who likes the workflow of the Adobe software and who can take advantage of the whole Adobe bundle Switched from [Lightworks](https://www.capterra.com/p/173468/Lightworks/)[Filmora](https://www.capterra.com/p/186540/Filmora/)[Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/)[OpenShot Video Editor](https://www.capterra.com/p/173466/OpenShot-Video-Editor/)[Shotcut](https://www.capterra.com/p/173467/Shotcut/) The need to create more complex jobs Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Video Editor E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Editing Software- Premiere Pro" February 8, 2022 5.0 Pros The pros of the premiere pro are: 1. Fast Render time 2. You can add VR transitions easily 3. Graphics can directly be imported from After Effects easily 4. Sound can be edited easily or can be also sent and edited on Adobe Audition 5. You can make literally anything from youtube videos to an entire movie. Cons The only con of the software is that it crashes a lot and that's something Adobe is currently working on. So a tip from my side is to always save your projects in certain interval of time. Review Source JG Jonathan G. CNO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Industry standard, but shouldn't be the default choice." November 8, 2022 3.0 I use Premiere as a badge to demonstrate my company is on par, if not exceeding industry standards. Often times, I mention we use Premiere. I never commit to saying we ONLY use Premiere. Most of our work is performed on Final Cut Pro. Our results are always above expectation. When a client asks for working files, I lower the boom on them about FCPX. Often times, they're flummoxed that anything other than Adobe Premiere could create that level of quality output. Pros The biggest advantage of Premiere is the acceptance of it as the industry standard. Mastering Premiere is more likely to land you jobs, gigs, etc and establish your credibility as a seasoned editor. Doesn't necessarily mean it's the best editor on the market Cons Adobe is notorious for overcomplicating simple steps and actions. Layer upon layer upon layer of diving into specifications of a specific piece of footage/animation/etc becomes tedious and time consuming. I liken it to Adobe = Windows vs let's say Final Cut Pro = Mac. One is more hierarchy-based organization that lacks in usability while the other accomplishes the same tasks quicker and more efficiently BECAUSE of a focus on user experience.

I simply use it as a checkbox to avoid confusing conversation when explaining my company's level of competency. When required, we use Premiere on a basic level. Then, we often export the XML into Final Cut Pro and add additional editing from there. Review Source TN Tinashe N.

March 27, 2023 5.0 So far so good, I'm impressed that the team keeps on improving the functionality, speed, and feel of this software. Pros 1\. Available on both OS and Windows, which makes it a flexible tool. 2. It's not restricting, it supports a tone of formats and a tone on niche features. 3. Goes well will other Adobe programs i.e After Effects. 4. Inexpensive 5. Simple User Interface 6. Lots of transitions 7. Has tutorials embedded which gives a new user an idea of what to do. 8. Becoming better with every update. 9. Great support team. 10. It basically has everything that a professional video editor needs for any project. 11. It's popular among video editors and creators. This was actually one of the reasons why we chose Adobe premiere pro. Most of our team members are volunteers from different parts of the world, so with Adobe premier pro, it's easy to get people working on the same projects without having to change it sometime and again. Cons Sometimes it just crushes and it's a bit tricky to identify the source problem. Though the interface is simple and straightforward, it's a little complicated for people without or with little to no experience in editing. Review Source Ankit B. Editor Photography Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great tool for making professional Videos" April 18, 2022 4.0 Editing with Premiere Pro is too good, It gives full control in Video Editing. With options like Color Grading, Curves Adjustment and Keyframe I can make a great video. Also editing in Premiere can be good as we save the file and open it in Adobe Premium Rush on our Smartphone. Also, the integration with After Effects will make things easy for one who wants to add special effects to any video. This decreases the travel time between software and gives good control between two software. The plugins for Premiere Pro can be downloaded from third-party websites like Envato Elements and will make the look output look more good. Many players don't support plugins but Premium Pro makes the work. Pros Moving from Premiere Pro was one of the best decisions for me. Following are the things that I like the most about Premiere Pro: - Gives you full control over things. We can play around with music, transitions - Can be used for Professional Editing Software. - We can download LUTs from third party websites and Premiere Pro supports that - As Premiere Pro is of Adobe, things can become easy by integrating it with other Adobe products like After Effects Cons Premiere Pro is great software, but there are a few drawbacks to it - It consumes lots of RAM and that slows down my Desktop. So, A High-End Desktop is a must - Their UI/UX can be difficult for a beginner. It's Professional software so one needs to spend a lot of time understanding it. - It creates a lot of cache files that can actually fill your storage. - You can't retrieve the unsaved file if Premiere Pro crashes. - Rendering Speed is too slow and it consumes a lot of time Switched from [Filmora](https://www.capterra.com/p/186540/Filmora/) Filmora didn't had the options which I was looking for. The options provided in them is very limited and can't be used for everything. Features like Motion Graphics and VFX can't be done in Filmora, because of these lacking features I shifted to other software for better quality work.

Cons I think light usage option it's missing , many editors complain about crashes due to overloading their projects.

February 17, 2023 5.0 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.

Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Genuine review on Adobe Premiere Pro" December 17, 2022 5.0 I have been using Adobe Premiere Pro for over three years now. I have created a variety of videos, from promotional videos to documentary shorts. I have become comfortable with the program's interface, and I have learned to edit video quickly and efficiently. I have become proficient in using the program's basic tools such as trimming, cropping, and adding effects. I have also become familiar with the more advanced tools such as color corrections, motion tracking, and masking. I have also experimented with audio mixing and sound design. Pros Pros:1.

It has a wide range of features and tools to help you create great videos.3. It is easy to learn, even for beginners.4. It is compatible with many different formats and can be used with both Mac and Windows systems.5. It has a great customer service system to help with any problems you may encounter. Cons Cons:1.

It can be difficult to keep track of project files.4. It is not as widely supported by third-party plug-ins and integrations compared to other video editing programs.

Pros This software works so well in my business and what I do in media as a video editor, when I first use this software at first glance it was just a bit intimidating but once I took my time looking through I realise that it had a very intuitive design and easy to use and my favourite feature using this software is that essential graphics panel, omg I love that part cause am really not great with graphics but they made it so simple and easy as drag an drop. Cons well, I'd say the cons of using the software is the problem that most persons have and it's that BUG/ Error message that will just randomly pop up stating "Sorry, a serious error has occurred" and that they shutting down the software, that recks my heart every time cause it happens anytime when you least expect it, worst when the project wasn't autosaved omg, you'd have to start all over again. Alternatives considered [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.capterra.com/p/209733/DaVinci-Resolve/) Reason for choosing Adobe Premiere Pro I chose adobe pp over these alternatives cause it was just cheaper doing the subscription at the time cause even tho it'd of been great to just make a one time purchase with DaVinci but it's a lot of cash and I didn't have that at that time. Switched from [Final Cut Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233399/Final-Cut-Pro/) I switched from using Final cut pro cause at the time premiere pro was offering so much more and also that's what most of the pros were using.

December 26, 2021 5.0 From the very first day of my agency life, I have been using Adobe Premiere Pro as a daily driver. Although my agency is small, I have two full-time video editors including me. All of us rely on this single tool for editing videos. Even if we need to use any animation or VFX on our video, we can easily do that with another Adobe tool named After Effects. Since all of the tools by Adobe works seamlessly among them, I don't have to worry about compatibility. This video editor fully supports my Nvidia GPU lineup and it can harness the maximum potential of the GPU. So, my rendering time has decreased a lot and I can easily deliver the final product within the deadline. Pros Adobe Premiere Pro is the best video editor in the market right now. I am pretty confident about my statement because I have already used almost all the alternatives. I tried to get used to some other video editing software initially, but every time I got back to Adobe Premiere Pro. The software is quite easy to use. Besides, it gives me the flexibility to customize the editing panel. I use a multi-monitor setup and I can get the best out of my mammoth setup using this software. I have to use various Adobe products on a daily basis in my agency, this is why I found this tool quite easy to learn. The UI and the core principle are similar to Photoshop and Illustrator. Also, the integration of this tool with my workflow is outstanding. I can use the Adobe Creative Cloud to sync my progress among multiple devices. Overall, no matter what I am doing about video production, I will not be able to live without this magic tool. Cons While Adobe Premiere Pro is more than perfect, there are some things that I think can be improved. The color grading panel can be a bit more developed. I really like the color grading panel of DaVinci Resolve. So, if they can make the panel a bit better it would be awesome. I know there are a lot of templates available on the internet for Premiere Pro. But if Adobe can make an official repository of user-submitted templates and effects, that would be highly beneficial for the new users. Sometimes, the integration with GPU drivers can be a bit troublesome. This should be made more seamless and easier. Alternatives considered [Filmora](https://www.capterra.com/p/186540/Filmora/) Reason for choosing Adobe Premiere Pro I was thinking of using Filmora because some of my friends said it is much easier to use. Besides, I will get preinstalled templates with that. While the statement is true and it has some advantages over the Premiere Pro, I still decided to stick with the Adobe software. It's because the Premiere Pro is currently considered the industry standard for video production. Also, I didn't notice any drop in video quality in adobe Premiere Pro while exporting my videos into different formats. The customer support of the Adobe team is superb and I found it more suitable for my agency. Review Source SK Shubham K.

It helped me alot to boost my career as a freelancer . And the most important feature is it's collaboration feature where i can work with my team in real time Pros So, talking about the things i like most about this software are, first of all it has a wide variety of format support so you can easily edit video in almost any format. Secondly, it has tons of video editing tools which can performs basic to basic and complex to complex tasks , even they are also bringing some features of automation, like we can automatically get frame cuts , on scene Changes withoout doing it manually , and at last in premiere pro we can work on multiple projects and switch between them seamlessly and also a whole team can work on a single project in real time Cons Although there are no things which are bad in this software , but if i have to point out something , then firstly , adobe now only have monthly subscriptions and we cant purchase the software for lifetime unlike past times and secondly as premiere pro is a very advanced software so it can be difficult and time consuming for new users to get used to it. Switched from [Filmora](https://www.capterra.com/p/186540/Filmora/) The filmora was a good software but it was made for basic editing but my clients were requiring more complex and personalized editing with different effects which made me switch to premiere pro Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Video Editor Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One Of The Best Video Editing Softwares" January 12, 2022 5.0 Overall my experience with Adobe Premiere Pro has been very good because of my many years of using it. It allows me to edit videos for my YouTube channel, for business or even for mobile apps like Instagram or Tik Tok. It takes some getting used to because of its overwhelming configurations but when you use it more and more you start to feel more comfortable. Pros The best thing about this software is its multi-purpose use. If you're a new video editor that's making funny videos for your friends or someone making a short film for a festival Adobe Premiere Pro is qualified for both. Professionals can use it knowing they have a lot of functions to create the vision they've been putting in their head, including special effects, animations, tracking shots, etc... But if you're just looking to create a small montage of video and pictures for a school project Premiere Pro allows you to do just that. It sounds cheesy but really the only limit this software has is your imagination, although that is to say that this is more specific to editing videos and not making special effects (which there are more specialized programs for things like that) Cons What I liked least about this is just how complicated it can be for a novice or even an intermediate user. Because there's so many things that you can do in this program there's a lot of options that can be toggled or opened that could make the software do things that maybe you don't want to do. Even accidentally pressing a single key on your keyboard could do something and now you're unsure how to revert back because you don't know what you did. It's also not very easy on the eyes as a beginner because there's just so many options and windows on screen that it almost gives a bit of anxiety to someone who just wants to put a few clips together for a YouTube video. Switched from [iMovie](https://www.capterra.com/p/207187/iMovie/) I made the switch initially because Premiere Pro gave me more creativity with how I wanted to edit videos. iMovie is a more simplistic video editor software that is mainly for Apple, and I was looking for something with a bit more options and one that was compatible with both Apple and Windows.

Owner E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great video editing software for pros, not so great for newbies" February 7, 2022 3.0 I tested Adobe PP as a potential video editing software. I create video content for social media (YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook), websites, and e-courses. I also occasionally will edit videos for clients. Pros What I love about Adobe Premiere Pro is the absolute control the user has over the software. This, of course, is completely determined by the users skill level. For a novice, PP will feel like an absolute roadblock, but for a seasoned pro will find comfort in having endless tools at their disposal. The color grading, in particular, is a stellar feature amongst entry level video editing softwares. Another pro is the seamless integration with other Adobe apps Cons I absolutely hate the User interface and user experience. This software looks and feels complicated and I get a headache just looking at it. When I was deciding between this and Final Cut Pro, one of the major factors in my decision to stay with FCP was that the interface is clean, simple and even beautiful. PP's is complicated, bulky and anything but beautiful. I'd go as far as to call it ugly. It feels discouraging and impossible to figure out when looking at it. The other side of having so many tools at your disposal is that it's complicated to find what you need because there are so many.

I do believe that there are certain scenarios where PP will be the better choice over a FCP etc, but most people getting into video editing as a hobby or as a content creator will be much better off opting for Final Cut by Apple.

November 28, 2022 4.0 Overall I have a good experience and it's the app that I use for video editing. Unfortunately it's very expensive if the other Creative Cloud apps were not being used, making another apps a better choice such as DaVinci Resolve. Pros Adobe Premire Pro it's compatible with almost all of the other Adobe Creative Cloud, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Audition and more. It as a lot of features that work great due to the program being matured for decades. It's also used in professional cinema so a lot of professional features and color editing is present in the program. Cons The shortcuts vary from app to app in Adobe Creative Cloud which can get really confusing when using some of them at the same time. Premiere Pro it's not good for video animation, controlling keyframes can get really annoying due to it's lack of specific tools that focus on animation. It also doesn't work great in laptops, Premiere Pro struggles to use the Graphics Card and sometimes the laptop ends up using integrated graphics from processor which makes the program extremely slow in 4K videos.

I am the owner of a small video production company, which specializes in video editing. I needed a program that was easy to use, constantly updated, and capable of delivering decent value for the price I paid. I am satisfied with the performance of Premiere Pro. Pros As part of the Creative Cloud Suite, Premiere Pro is extremely popular. In addition to being frequently updated, this software has a wide range of troubleshooting forums and online discussions to help you find issues and understand the software. Frequently updated software can also prove to be problematic, however, in most cases, new features become welcome improvements and bugs are typically resolved within a short period of time. Despite its ease of use, Premiere Pro is one of the best editing software packages for professional editors or for new editors. One is able to organize windows according to his or her preference through the user-friendly interface. Once you have spent a great deal of time using Premiere Pro, you will begin to find that it becomes somewhat intuitive to edit videos. This is simply because Premiere Pro becomes more familiar as you become more familiar with it. It is possible to accomplish your editing goals in Premiere Pro through a variety of options. Sequences are cut in different ways by different editors. In some cases, clip trimming is accomplished using the trim clip editor, while in other cases, clip cutting is performed using the razor blade. The use of (.) or in and out points may be preferred by some editors when inserting clips into a timeline. Premiere Pro offers an extensive array of options at the user's disposal, which makes it an easy application to use and allows editors to define their own workflow. Cons The frequent updating of software can have negative consequences, as I have mentioned previously. The development and testing of some of the newer features does not appear to be as well developed as it should be. Compared to the original title editor, this new-ish "text tool" is welcome, but lacks depth. An already tight deadline was made even tighter by the Team Projects feature. Sequence files can be difficult to convert into After Effects compositions. There have been instances in which tried and true features have failed after being updated, but these are specific instances. Occasionally, you'll run into these kinds of headaches when developing software. Alternatives considered [VEGAS Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/196011/VEGAS-Pro/) Review Source RD Reema D. Associate Director Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Reliable Software for Video Editing" December 12, 2022 4.0 Adobe Premiere Pro on the whole is a great tool for myself and my coworkers to create info clips and promotional short composite videos for our website. At the end of the day the cons can be annoying, but I won't be switching programs anytime soon. Pros Adobe's renown makes Premiere Pro an easy choice of top tier software for video editing. There are millions of resources to figure out how to do exactly what you want to do in the program, from the internal tutorials to just googling the feature you are trying to figure out. It's also (mostly) nice that there are regular updates, so any bugs are quickly fixed. However, we will delve into that more in the cons section. It's also very versatile. There's always five ways to accomplish whatever you want to do with your video, whether you prefer the trim clip editor to the razor blade to cut clips, or you prefer to insert new clips using a shortcut or in and outs. No matter what you want to do, you can find a way that feels comfortable for you. Cons Like all Adobe products, the pros can be a double edged sword. Yes, there are a ton of ways to do the same thing, so it can be complicated or overwhelming trying to figure out what all the options do-or what options you need and which you can ignore, as they are outside the realm of what you want to do. And yes, it's great that all the help online exists, because I often google what I need to accomplish and read up about it to figure out how to do it. Then there's the updates. A lot of times it feels like new features aren't fully developed before release, then need patching to fix the issues. I have encountered this in both Premiere and other Adobe products, as on occasion an update can break a trusted tool and lead to loss of work. I have defaulted to only using every other update with the hopes that the first one is buggy, and the next one is fixed, and so forth. It can be a bit of a time sometimes, and recently I have just avoided the updates. Review Source Maurice M B. Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Premiere Video Editing Suite" May 6, 2022 5.0 Adobe Premiere Pro opens up a world of opportunities for those aspiring to video production, beyond the average basic video editing software. I have seen students who felt proud of their productions using other platforms literally transform their previous videos after three weeks of class. Premiere Pro can be complicated at first if you do not have guidance, but the sheer volume of enthusiasts creating educational content on Youtube, aided by tons of blog posts and Adobe's very stright-to-the-point tutorials on their help site means that your answers aren't far away. Now on the negative side, there are the hardware requirements... Make sure that you take note of these. Many people bypass the impact of having a great video card, and that can be detrimental. Adobe's products do not play well with older video cards. I'm due to spend a pretty penny on an upgrade soon. As far as this math buff sees it, this is a simple equation. Excellent product + Excellent community + Excellent support = WIN! Pros The power of Premiere Pro, as a part of the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite is, in my humble opinion, unmatched for users outside of the film industry. This is aside from the power of the software itself, which allows you to leverage most of the power of your creativity to produce videos, across operating systems. Cons The method of distribution of the software to users in the Caribbean leaves much to be desired. It inspires a significant amount of piracy because... people recognise the power of the tool. It should be easier for us to legally purchase it. The last update also deprecated a long list of video cards, and with the cost of those items since the pandemic, you're going to spend a pretty penny on hardware upgrades if, like me, you were caught.

I am natively a Windows user who wanted to move to Mac, and didn't have the ability to do both immediately. When I learned Premiere Pro, it meant that I could take my editor over to the new OS when I switched. Review Source Délcio R.

Everydays I learn something new, and it's great, because, I'm dealing with the best. Pros The most impactful in this software, is the bunch of functionality that it brings.

An amazing editing by one of the best creators of art and motion design combined with a bunch of effects that we can create or even integrate to it. I love Adobe products and would recommend to every creator.When it takes to Adobe, that means you can trust. Cons The interface is a little confused, and the effects are a little dificult to apply at the first contact with the software. I'd like it to be more interactive.
