    I have also used Adobe Premiere Rush (a less capable but more streamlined and easier to use version of Adobe Premiere Pro) and Canva to produce video content. Ultimately I will choose to use Adobe Premiere Pro every time. I always end up wanting to do something in Rush that I …

    Final Cut Pro is equivalent to Premiere in terms of capability, but our organization is completely Windows based, as are most corporate office environments, and PowerDirector offered an adequate solution but lacked the full suite of tools that we were looking for.

    Not even close. iMovie is a good starter set, Adobe Premiere Pro is the real deal. iMovie is a great entry point for you to learn the basics, but when you are ready to take your editing to the next level, Adobe Premiere Pro is the way to go.

    We had looked at Camtasia due to an industry referral and although it offers a much more simplistic interface and took less time to learn, it wasn't able to compete with some of the upscale Adobe options. That being said, we do use it for small projects that focus more on …

    Compared to other editing software, it's a cleaner layout, faster render, and much more easy to learn some of the more complex features.
    Similar platforms take too long to set up and give commands in one step as opposed to 3 or 4 steps in some software, which saves time.

    Adobe Premiere Pro is so much better than iMovie, but iMove is great for people who are just starting out and want a slimmed-down version of Adobe Premiere Pro. Adobe Premiere Pro does have a learning curve and is not as easy to pick up and learn in comparison to iMovie.

    I had no problems with Final Cut. It was also easy to use and very powerful. However, Adobe Premiere Pro is part of the Adobe ecosystem, so it just makes sense to use it instead of Final Cut Pro. Of course, some people may prefer to pay a one-time fee of $300 with Final Cut vs …

    I have actually recommended Adobe Premiere Pro to many people looking to get into the editing field. It is perfect for any type of video creation. It would not be very useful for someone who isn't serious about video editing and wants to just use something to cut out the beginning or ends of clips. It's too advanced for that and [maybe] confusing for someone not educated in the field.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • Premiere is able to import video in almost any format and has a number of excellent export formats and styles.
    • Premiere has a great interface that once learned feels very intuitive.
    • Premiere aligns easily with the other suite of Adobe software allowing for easy integration of graphics and audio.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • Export times: I do a massive amount of exports with intensive graphics. They often need to be done quickly. If export times could be reduced by 90%, my life would improve drastically.
    • Importing errors: Certain video formats are not compatible, such as specific types of MP4s and MKV files. Greater flexibility would be wonderful.
    • End the subscription model. I'd gladly pay one flat fee once and be done with it.

    There is not better program for your needs than Adobe Premiere Pro. It doesn't matter if it can be hard to learn because this product is the top of the line and you will not find a better video editing program. This is what the professionals use. It is worth the learning curve.

    Premiere Pro is a very powerful tool, but it's not intuitive - it's virtually impossible to use without some kind of training or instruction. That being said, once you've learned how to use the product so that you can take advantage of its various video editing and creation options, it's an incredible program in terms of features and tools.

    It is a professional team that provides customer service at any time. I think that the team does not rest until they find a solution to your problem. I think this makes this company great because when a company offers a good service, and they treat you well, the customer always returns satisfied.

    DaVinci Resolve is a powerful editing and color-grading application, and the base version is free. However, I've found that with the Lumetri Color panel in Premiere, I really have no need for Resolve as it meets all of my needs. Additionally, I've found Resolve to be lacking in support for the broad range of file types that Premiere handles gracefully.

    • Speed of workflow has increased- specially when coupled with keyboard shortcuts
    • Jobs have had a faster turnover rate which makes clients happy.
    • I have two Adobe accounts, one for work and one for personal use. Both of these accounts are paying for themselves through the work I can provide with the use of Premiere.
