About Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro is a cloud-based video editing software designed to help businesses create and edit professional videos using various built-in tools. Supervisors can import videos on the platform, add transition effects, and export finished footage to the required destination.

Adobe Premiere Pro allows designers to create animated slideshows, graphics, or titles, add or shift colors and utilize built-in templates to improve the video editing process. Managers can add music tracks across specific clips, render them and request for review to streamline approval and collaboration processes. It also lets users add captions in clips and automatically match colors using artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Adobe Premiere Pro offers an API, which helps businesses facilitate integration with in-house applications including Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, and more.

A great and capable video editor, with flexibility and ease of use.

Overall, Adobe Premiere is a great video editing program and is fairly enjoyable to use. As long as your hardware and other specs are up to what they should be, there are minimal stability issues, and it performs pretty great, in my experience. I've tried several other video editing programs, and Adobe Premiere has remained my program of choice for several years now. The ease of use and getting started, the ability to customize my interface into a layout that works really well for me, and the ability to handle multiple types of media types without issue are just some of the features that I love. There is a large community of users that is easy to get support and tips/tricks from, as well as Adobe's support, which have always been responsive and helpful for me. While there are things that it could do better, as a whole it works really well with my workflow and video editing requirements.

Pros

I really like how quickly I can get started editing with this program. I edit a lot of short form, fairly simple videos, and I like how I can just open the app, import my media, and get started. There's not a lot of hoops to jump through, and not a lot of setup that needs to be done just to get going. I love how easy it is to import a wide variety of media types. I rarely have issues with all the different types of media I work with. I love how quick and easy the timeline editing tools are, and using the keyboard shortcuts to quickly move back and forth and get a quick edit together before refining it further. The interface is also pleasant to work in, and not overly crowded or cluttered.

Cons

I often wish that the keyframe editing window and workflow were though out a little better. I find it difficult to use and get them accurately placed and edited without some frustration most times. The keyframe workflow in After Effects is so much better and easier to use, and I feel like the workflow in Premiere is just so much more tedious then it needs to be. I also get frustrated with the audio mixing interface and workflow. Working with audio plugins and automation always gives me issues, and using EQs and compressors and what not are mildly frustrating at best. I don't understand why they can't lay out a mix window the same way that almost everyone else does. I get that it's not an audio program, but audio is a major part of video editing, and it shouldn't be this difficult to get a good mix inside the editor.

Reasons for Switching to Adobe Premiere Pro

Apple was phasing out Final Cut Studio 7 and releasing Final Cut X, and I preferred Adobe Premiere over the new Final Cut.

The Premiere Video Editing Suite

Reviewed on 6/5/2022

Adobe Premiere Pro opens up a world of opportunities for those aspiring to video production, beyond...

Adobe Premiere Pro opens up a world of opportunities for those aspiring to video production, beyond the average basic video editing software. I have seen students who felt proud of their productions using other platforms literally transform their previous videos after three weeks of class.

Premiere Pro can be complicated at first if you do not have guidance, but the sheer volume of enthusiasts creating educational content on Youtube, aided by tons of blog posts and Adobe's very stright-to-the-point tutorials on their help site means that your answers aren't far away.

Now on the negative side, there are the hardware requirements... Make sure that you take note of these. Many people bypass the impact of having a great video card, and that can be detrimental. Adobe's products do not play well with older video cards. I'm due to spend a pretty penny on an upgrade soon.

As far as this math buff sees it, this is a simple equation. Excellent product + Excellent community + Excellent support = WIN!

Pros

The power of Premiere Pro, as a part of the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite is, in my humble opinion, unmatched for users outside of the film industry. This is aside from the power of the software itself, which allows you to leverage most of the power of your creativity to produce videos, across operating systems.

Cons

The method of distribution of the software to users in the Caribbean leaves much to be desired. It inspires a significant amount of piracy because... people recognise the power of the tool. It should be easier for us to legally purchase it.

The last update also deprecated a long list of video cards, and with the cost of those items since the pandemic, you're going to spend a pretty penny on hardware upgrades if, like me, you were caught.

DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro

Reasons for Switching to Adobe Premiere Pro

I felt that Premiere Pro gave the best mix of cross Operating System (OS) functionality, cost and power. I am natively a Windows user who wanted to move to Mac, and didn't have the ability to do both immediately. When I learned Premiere Pro, it meant that I could take my editor over to the new OS when I switched.

A good editing tool but poor customer service

Reviewed on 13/2/2024

Pros

Adobe premiere was my editing tool. At that time, it was considered much inferior than Final Cut Pro. Then, the company really did a good job and turned adobe premiere into a professional editing tool.

It works well with Protool and AfterEffect (unlike Final Cut Pro X), it can export all different format files that answers the needs in the film industry.

The file organization similar to Avid and more flexible than Avid.
It allows the remote offline editing. Wonderful.

Caption is so easy to work with.

It's compatible with all other adobe products, animation, aftereffect.....etc. It has good potential for what it can do for film editing.

It offers different interface for different job, like editing, audio editing...etc, and also you can make your own set up as well. It's awesome.

Cons

I have a list of Cons here,

1. Poor customer service. Most of the time, if there is a problem, you go online or YouTube to find solution. You don't get answer from the customer service.

2. Constantly they put out updated version, causing trouble for file sharing.
Also it forces you to upgrade your editing hardware. If you have a lower version of the editing software, you gonna suffer so much bugs and problems.

3. Too little in the library, you have to pay extra, buy and buy as if the subscription fee is not expensive enough.

4. Not enough game for color correction. Very limited and poor.

5. Not enough transition tools and options, very basic and dry.

6. I wish the sound editing tools can be a bit more, right now it's really basic.

Editing with Premiere Pro is too good, It gives full control in Video Editing. With options like Color Grading, Curves Adjustment and Keyframe I can make a great video. Also editing in Premiere can be good as we save the file and open it in Adobe Premium Rush on our Smartphone. Also, the integration with After Effects will make things easy for one who wants to add special effects to any video. This decreases the travel time between software and gives good control between two software. The plugins for Premiere Pro can be downloaded from third-party websites like Envato Elements and will make the look output look more good. Many players don't support plugins but Premium Pro makes the work.

Pros

Moving from Premiere Pro was one of the best decisions for me. Following are the things that I like the most about Premiere Pro:

- Gives you full control over things. We can play around with music, transitions

- Can be used for Professional Editing Software.

- We can download LUTs from third party websites and Premiere Pro supports that

- As Premiere Pro is of Adobe, things can become easy by integrating it with other Adobe products like After Effects

Cons

Premiere Pro is great software, but there are a few drawbacks to it

- It consumes lots of RAM and that slows down my Desktop. So, A High-End Desktop is a must

- Their UI/UX can be difficult for a beginner. It's Professional software so one needs to spend a lot of time understanding it.

- It creates a lot of cache files that can actually fill your storage.

- You can't retrieve the unsaved file if Premiere Pro crashes.

- Rendering Speed is too slow and it consumes a lot of time

As educators, we care about getting quick results. Adobe Premiere Pro offers not only that, but also a path to a professional career in broadcasting, media, and professional video creation.

Pros

This review is from an educational perspective.
In our school, we love the fact that students can start learning with simple projects and evolve as they master new techniques and new challenges arise.
Importing video clips has become quite intuitive in the latest versions with a renewed emphasis in "starting to create right away". Editing and adding titles is easy, with the assistance of Creative Cloud integration, libraries, and Adobe Sensei helping too. The exporting experience has also changed, adapting to common standards in social media formats besides the usual professional outputs Premiere Pro is known for.
Premiere Pro is a well known non linear editor, and as such, the amount of educational resources is quite profuse.The abundance of educational material directly from Adobe and other sources helps new users get results quickly.
Also, Premiere Pro has no issues providing the same experience in both Windows and Macs (now with Apple Silicon support)

Cons

Just a minor thing: Unless the subscription for Premiere Pro is bought separately, the app is tied to a subscription model that includes design apps you may not need. This may not be a problem for the majority of users, as we often need to review or adapt assets created in Illustrator or Photoshop.
