We've had people mention this question in threads, but never had a specific thread to address this. I got my video capture card a few days ago and I have been pumping videos onto my computer. I have played around with Premiere 6.0, and wasn't impressed at all. I've tried Ulead Studio 6 and just about laughed my butt off, I'm seriously wondering if the coders were on something when they made the program. Every time I try to open a video (you can't import, you have to put it directly into the video/audio bar) it says it can't decompress the video for a preview because the frame is too big or something, ANY VIDEO!! MPEG, MPEG2, AVI, you name it! Needless to say, unless someone knows whats up, that's not going to count. I haven't tried Premiere 6.5. Anyone know if it is improved that much, or is the classic Adobe product, which takes them 3 years to update, and they just add 6 useless buttons, and people come flocking to the stores to upgrade their $300 software.
Combining a LOT of time and know how, with Premiere and Photoshop, you can do some awesome stuff if you save the video as a filmstrip.
My friend has the new iMovie 3 and frankly it can beat out Premiere. Although you're sacrificing a few features, in a matter of minutes we can create a professional looking video with AWESOME special effects, credits, you're only limited by your imagination, it's very exciting, with Premiere you're lucky if you can make anything look half decent after messing around with the videos for hours of hair pulling frustration. For instance, when I put the video CLIPS in folders within the program to consolidate them, they lose their sound....??????. Stupid stuff like that abounds. I don't mean to sound simple or anything, but what is the most functional program for it's simplicity. And if I had to choose, I'd go for simplicity.
Anyone know of any Mac OS 9 or X emulators for Windows XP? Then I could just use iMovie 3.
