I am posting an HD feature that will be in a theater near you soon.

Alex and Olbin, thanks. Like Vegas, people using Premier don't get the press like when someone uses FCP.

David, thanks, I'm hoping to make things as portable as possible. I guess my negative experiences with Premier 4.x have influenced my judgement about anything from Adobe concerning video editing.

Joe,

Many in the creative community hold on to the (rightful) bad memory of early versions of Premiere. When Adobe went "Pro" in 2004 things became very different, and the app was pretty much fully rewritten.

We have numerous customers who have moved back to Premiere from FCP because they wanted to use the CineForm workflow. In most all cases they were hesitant to make that move because of bad old memories (like yours). But in all cases they acknowledge that Premiere Pro does pretty much everything that FCP does, and in some cases more, like having better deep pixel support (besides the CineForm RT software). Plus it has a better integration story with AE and Photoshop.

You should have good success with your feature using Premiere Pro.

I remember the days of Premiere 6.5...argg....Pro is a very good solid app...and now the cineform stuff is starting to work well with it. makes for an ideal workflow.

I simply refuse to migrate back to a Windows environment. I have way to much invested in software and plugins. I'm hoping for those Quicktime solutions soon.

Thanks everyone for the feedback about Adobe. I have AE 7 pro and Photoshop CS2, I just couldn't bring myself to install Premier Pro 2.
But...I'll give it a try.

Note..I dont want anyone to think I'm abandoning Vegas. With ConnectHD, Vegas 7 and my HD100 I have a most excellent set of tools for story telling.

My issues with migrating to Premier have to do with the type of work I'm hoping to do next year.
