    Im curious if there’s a method to make Pro Premiere less of a baby, lack of better word, for importing videos, it doesn’t seem to accept any formats except maybe wmv sometimes, whereas WMM can import any format anytime anywhere

    Professional software in editing demands frame accurate editing and EDLs. These consumer formats are not frame accurate. They can slip and you might get some weird result where a cut should be due to the longform compression methods used in some highly compressed codecs (GOP). That’s why many PPro Editors want to keep out these low-end formats. Use WMM to export out a reliable file type. Like DV AVI/QT or Uncompressed AVI/QT.

    How many editors does it take to change a light bulb?
