Giving CS4 Premiere a try, normally use Vegas 8 Pro
I just purchased CS4 Production Premium and will give Premiere a whirl. I've found it extremely stable and fast. I'm looking at CS4 more for PhotoShop, AfterEffects, Flash, Illustrator, and DreamWeaver, but I want to see if I like Premiere as well. I love the idea of them all interfacing with each other in one suite. I've used Vegas for several years now and have really enjoyed it and found it very efficient and stable.
Has anybody competent with Vegas 8 Pro made this transition and have any comments about Premiere's relative pros and cons? |

Is CS4 PPro similar to FCP in its commands and feel? Someone told me that the two programs are very similar and learning one would help with using the other.

Inserting, overlaying, render previewing, etc are all different keyboard shortcuts. But they are similar in timeline editing. But yes, they are very similar. |

Well, I spent the whole evening loading Production Premium (ouch) and now I'm trying to figure out why it only loaded the 32bit version and what to do with the "content" disc that didn't self load onto the HDD. I'm hoping it will get better. Can't wait to jump into AfterEffects and Flash.

I think FC and PP were even designed by the same person. They are very similar in operation, especially now with introduction of multitrack targeting and sync lock editing. Prmeiere is better at handling various formats, FC is better suited for working in professional broadcasting and movie editing - especially when dealing with various FX and audio departments.

Adam,
Thanks so much, you just saved me several hours of research and uninstalling/installing/tech support. You deserve to take Monday off. |
