Premiere - which does not have track FX for video either, really =
unfortunate. But I keep hoping I'm missing something on the audio side =
as it's the reason I only occasionally use Premiere.

PP certainly has track fx which are key frameable as well as clip based =
ones. as for video track FX you can do that by creating a new clear =
video clip aka adjustment layer clip and place that in the TL as =
appropriate.=20

PP on the audio side can submix. it can edit audio down to the sample =
level - trim, slip, slide, keyframe directly in the TL. the secret ? =
well keyframes are already subframe if you zoom in enough. simply change =
the TL units to Samples in the ( I hate so much ) TL fly out menu in the =
top right. PP uses VST for plugins and also supports apple AU as well. =
processing is all 32bit internally. So really this is as good as any =
DAWware out there and better than FCP by a margin.

fact is I'm working on a TV series right now and I'm mixing the show for =
broadcast right in PP where its been edited. I'm happy to be doing this. =
everything is taking some compression / eq / gain and its been working =
really well. the denoise is also a nice clean up filter when used gently =
to get rid of some wind noise and clothing rubs.
