There are lots of things I dislike about PP, but there's one thing that makes Avid essential for my corporate work: Fluid Morph. Of all the effects in PP that are inferior to Avid, the Morph Cut vs. the Fluid Morph is the most shocking. How can Adobe's effect be so dramatically inferior to Avid's? When a director demands PP, I've imported scenes into Avid to cut with fluid morphs, then bounce them back to PP. My favorite was a spokesperson who had a terrible, terrible stutter and was supposed to deliver his section to the camera without cutaways. Between the dozen or more fluid morphs I used, a pop in or two and one cutaway the client allowed, you'd never know the guy stuttered.

Have you tried the highest rated email app?
With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market. What are you waiting for? Now you can access all your inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, AOL and more) in one place. Never delete an email again with 1000GB of free cloud storage.

Try working on software mode only, without a breakout box active. 


I agree with the audio mapping configuration and behavior. 

Adobe though is very active in adding features, which can be very good and bad. It is not a very streamlined application IMHO.

Premiere pro sucks. I mean, you all know this, but… how is it so popular? It's not learning the keystrokes, or the logic - that's not too bad. Its the weird audio embeds, and the regular crashing. Oh, the crashing.

Re: [Avid-L2] Holy Sh*t

 

OMH,


how is it so popular?

Because for many of us it works pretty well.  I have been using PP almost exclusively for the last 3 years or so, after 20 years on Avid and some overlapping years with FCP6/7.

I run PP on a 8 core MP trash can and have had very little crashing; in fact, no more than I had with Avid..  I gave up on Avid for numerous reasons (I still have it for the occasional legacy project).  

I have been somewhat of an Avid diehard over the years, but no more.  When the everyday editing experience got to be much smoother on PP, I stopped using Avid for new projects.  Both have nice features, and of course both make me want to scream at times :-).

One of the best things about Premiere is that Adobe is trying hard to listen to users and improve the product.  And PP has come a long way in the last 5 years.

Its the weird audio embeds

Huh? What do you mean by this?
