Nah, nobody would use it for professional or broadcast work, what with its scalable 64-bit architecture (meaning throw all the RAM and processors you can afford at it), ability to work natively with all professional camera (and many pro-sumer) codecs and file types, ability to hand off GPU processing to CUDA-approved cards, ability to manage differing pixel aspects and framerates on the same timeline…..and all of this in a nearly render-free (for timeline playback) environment.

Is Premiere being used for long-form documentary and Feature work? I assume so, I hear people talk about it now and again on the internet, but I've never actually met anyone who uses it on larger more intensive projects. In fact I don't know any editors locally who use it for professional work at all.

 

Is it ever used for Broadcast work?

 

Are there any drawbacks at this point compared to AVID or FCP? I'd love to hear from someone who has used Premiere and FCP/AVID on larger projects, rather than someone who has only used Premiere.

 

I got called in about a month ago to finish up a short 3 minute corporate piece started by a communications manager. Seemed quite stable and snappy compared to my minor foray's into Premiere in years past.

 

Thanks,

 

James

There was that historical thing with Premiere. Random crashes, occasional (seldom) corruption entering into the project bringing the need to import the corrupt project into a new project, or having to cut/paste contents from a corrupt sequence into another…..saving the project to a new filename.  I’ve seen all that stuff in the 9 years I’ve used it.

 

It’s gone now. It’s been gone since the move to 64-bit….since CS5. Always good to look at the historical perspective, but don’t let history cripple you. Taking the lid off RAM usage, making systems scalable, Adobe’s intelligent memory manager, CUDA GPU processes, all come together to make Premiere a truly high-end stable editing platform.

historically, adobe has always seemed vulnerable to corruption.   it's the one thing that keeps me away from premiere.

I've had no problems with my ppc browser.

Once again, for 99% of the population, the needs of the family has priority over spending thousands for new hardware to watch Flash movs on the web.

If you want video to be seen by everybody, Flash is best avoided.
