No argument from me, here. I feel the same, have been cutting on Avid for about 20 years myself. But I'm curious about the specifics - which features (or lack thereof) that get in the way when using Premiere.Full disclosure -- I've been editing on Avid for 25 years, so for me, every other system is a "wanna-be"…
Creating a select-takes sequence and cutting from that is SOP for me in Avid. Difficult at best on other systems.
Remapping tracks in the timeline so you can cut from one sequence into another? Impossible. The "single timeline" concept in both FCP and Premiere is maddening.
Yes, I see being able to edit from a selects reel is not as easy on Premiere. It does seem possible to load a sequence as a source, but I don't think you can do any track patching from source to edit sequence, as you point out. I also see nothing resembling a reverse-matchframe between sequences, which I will miss dearly. I use this all the time, for instance to cue a selects reel in my source monitor to the current shot in my edited sequence.
This is the issue. Avid really seems to struggle with multiple mattes on multiple layers. It also has trouble with smooth playback of AMA-linked footage in certain formats, which gets in the way of initial screening of rushes.As long as Avid can handle the source footage you're using, I don't see a reason to rely on a different program.
Thanks,
