Re: [Avid-L2] avid editors' opinion of adobe premiere?

 

I think its about our feeling with the NLE too. How we think and feel back and forth communicating with it.
Some people don't feel the same.
And like we said in EDA (Argentinian editors association). Its not the arrow, its the indian.
I hope this expression don't turn racist or something like that in another language.

Can we cut on anything?  Sure.  I started on film -- ripped sprockets, missing emulsion layers and all.

But NLE's are supposed to make our lives easier.  Avid did that.  I find most everything else a step backwards.  "The amount of swearing" is exactly what I meant "the amount of goddamn it...,"  and there's plenty when you try to do things that were made simpler by Avid and more complex by others.

I had a source scene with 8 tracks of audio.  My edited sequence only had 4 tracks of audio.  Since there's no way to access the timeline on the source side,  I couldn't disable the source audio,  even though all I wanted was picture.  So I disable the audio on my sequence,  cut in the scene,  and end up with 8 tracks on the sequence, 4 of them with NG sound.  There's a button in Avid to avoid this,  but I haven't found it in Premiere.  And in Avid you can disable the tracks in the first place,  so if you like the auto-create feature most of the time,  you don't have to go back to Settings for any individual edit.

Having literally just watched as half my company moved to premiere I can say it's not as bad as we think. But as an older keyboard oriented editor I find anything slower annoying. However younger less speedy editors prefer a more click and drag style interface and whilst avid has incorporated most of those benefits over the last few years the familiarity of the photoshop/after effects gui makes a transition to premiere very easy not to mention free if you are already a creative cloud customer.

In terms of can you get the job done as a pro editor we can cut a show on any system all that changes is the amount of swearing. But for my money if I'm offlining anything longer than 30 seconds I will insist on
Avid.
